[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
