[Verse 1]
You sit by the window
Laughing at something on your phone
I’m here in the doorway
Heart racing
You never know
You talk about her softly
Eyes shining like the start of spring
I learn every word you’re saying
Pretend it doesn’t sting
[Chorus]
I love you everyday in secret
Every sunrise
Every breath I keep it
Pouring all my care around you
Hope you feel it in the way I see you
If only I could be the one you run to
But I just stand behind your smile
Loving you in silence
All the while
[Verse 2]
I pack up your bad days
Fold them small and hide them deep
Make coffee the way you like it
You thank me
Then fall asleep
I trace your name in dishes
In the fog on the bathroom glass
You never turn around to catch it
So the moment always passes
[Chorus]
I love you everyday in secret
Every sunrise
Every breath I keep it
Pouring all my care around you
Hope you feel it in the way I see you
If only I could be the one you run to
But I just stand behind your smile
Loving you in silence
All the while
[Bridge]
If I told you
Would it break us? (oh)
Would you turn away
Or would you stay?
You say you’re lucky
To have me here
I just answer
“Always”
And hide the tears
[Chorus]
I love you everyday in secret
Every sunrise
Every breath I keep it
Pouring all my care around you
Hope you feel it in the way I see you
If someday you ever feel this way too
I’ll be right here
Same old heart
Same room
Till then I stand behind your smile
Loving you in silence
All the while
[Outro]
Slow piano in the half-light
Soft strings holding on my sigh
You’re drifting into dreams beside me
And I just whisper
“You’re my why”
