[Verse 1]
You poured coffee in my favorite mug
Like you’d always known it was mine
Read the headline
Laughed at the same line
Felt like we’d rehearsed this all our lives
Trust sat easy
Like a sweater worn thin
Like it had been here long before
I ever let you in
[Chorus]
Trust grows quiet before it speaks loud
Soft in the corner of a crowded room
It hums in the spaces
Hangs in the doubt
Feels like a promise we’ll get to soon
I held your name like something I’d found
Didn’t see the crack in the sound
Trust grows quiet before it speaks loud
[Verse 2]
You said
“Traffic
” when you came in late
Keys down
Eyes fixed on the floor
Your hug landed just a breath too light
Like you’d left some of you at the door
One missed call
Turned into ten
Little stories tripping over
Where you’d just been
[Chorus]
Trust grows quiet before it speaks loud
Soft in the corner of a crowded room
It hums in the spaces
Hangs in the doubt
Feels like a promise we’ll get to soon
I held your name like something I’d found
Didn’t see the crack in the sound
Trust grows quiet before it speaks loud
[Bridge]
Is it kindness or habit
That keeps me here
Tracing circles on the table
To keep from drawing what I fear
You say my worry cuts you
Like I’m the one untrue
But every answer lands sideways
Every answer sounds like you
[Chorus]
Trust grows quiet before it speaks loud
Sits in my throat till it starts to bruise
I count every almost
Every half-truth now
Like I’m keeping score I don’t want to lose
I held your name like something I’d found
Now I hear the break in the sound
Trust grows quiet before it speaks loud
