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
