Unsaid

(Overall mood and feeling: Despair like choking on breath, almost crying, slow but powerful start but a crashing deep chorus, a twisting bridge and a longing cinematic strong outro)

Verse 1

There’s a thought I’ve been holding

Like water in my hands

Every time I try to name it

It runs where it can

I practice in the quiet

What I never say out loud

By the time I’m ready

The moment’s not around

Chorus

There’s a space where my words fall down

Between my mind and my mouth

I feel everything too deep to sound

So it stays where it’s found

There’s a truth I keep reaching for

But it turns when I turn around

I lose myself a little more

Between my mind and my mouth

Verse 2

I’m not hiding, I’m just late

To my own reply

Every feeling moves so slowly

By the time it arrives

I watch people pass me

With their sentences whole

While mine come apart

Before they’re told

Chorus

There’s a space where my words fall down

Between my mind and my mouth

I feel everything too deep to sound

So it stays where it’s found

There’s a truth I keep reaching for

But it won’t come out right

It lives just behind the door

I close every night

Bridge

If silence is a language

Then I’m fluent in the ache

I don’t mean to be distant

I just hesitate

I love you in unfinished lines

In pauses, in doubt

In all the things I never get

Past my mouth

Final Chorus

There’s a space where my words fall down

Between my mind and my mouth

I carry whole worlds I can’t pronounce

And I don’t know how

If you’re listening, stay close somehow

Don’t ask me to explain

Just hold what I can’t get out

And call it my name

Outro

I’m not empty

I’m just quiet

Where the feelings go to lie

I’m not gone

I’m just trying

To make the long way outside
