Say It When It’s Quiet

[Intro]
You don’t say it in the daytime  
Only when it’s quiet  

[Verse 1]
You keep it light in the morning  
Like nothing’s on your mind  
But I hear it in your silence  
In the way you take your time  

You don’t look at me the same  
When there’s people in the room  
But when it’s just us alone  
Everything changes with you  

[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t hide it well  
You just hide it when it’s loud  

[Chorus]
You only say it when it’s quiet  
When there’s nothing in the way  
When the world ain’t watching us  
And there’s nothing left to say  

You only say it when it’s quiet  
Like it don’t count the same  
But if you feel it in the dark  
Why you scared to say it day?  

[Verse 2]
You don’t text it in the daytime  
Don’t leave it in a message  
Like it only feels real  
When it’s said without a question  

I’m not asking for forever  
I’m not asking you to stay  
But don’t give me something real  
Then pretend it fades away  

[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t lose control  
You just choose when it shows  

[Chorus]
You only say it when it’s quiet  
When there’s nothing in the way  
When the world ain’t watching us  
And there’s nothing left to say  

You only say it when it’s quiet  
Like it don’t count the same  
But if you feel it in the dark  
Why you scared to say it day?  

[Bridge]
If it’s real, it don’t need hiding  
If it’s there, it don’t need timing  
You don’t need the perfect moment  
Just be honest when you’re talking  

[Final Chorus]
You only say it when it’s quiet  
But I hear it every time  
In the pauses in your voice  
In the things you leave behind  

You only say it when it’s quiet  
But I’m done reading signs  
If it’s something you can feel  
You should say it in the light  

[Outro]
Say it where it counts  
Not just when it’s quiet
