[Verse 1]
You talk in circles when you’re scared
Eyes on the table
Hands in your hair
I see the storm behind your stare
I’m here
I’m here
[Pre-Chorus]
You say you’re too much
Too loud
Too broken
Every hope just feels half-spoken
Let it spill
Let it fall open
I won’t turn away
[Chorus]
I love you closer when you’re quiet
Even when the words won’t come
You don’t have to stand there shining
To be the only
Only one
Every crack
Every tear
Pulls your heart a little near
You don’t have to hide it
I love you closer when you’re quiet
[Verse 2]
You keep a list of little flaws
Folded and faded deep in your drawer
I’d trade my breath
I’d trade it all
To make you see what I see more
[Pre-Chorus]
Every scar you try to cover
Reads like a map that brought us here
Every doubt you try to smother
Is safe out in the air
[Chorus]
I love you closer when you’re quiet
Even when the words won’t come
You don’t have to stand there shining
To be the only
Only one
Every crack
Every tear
Pulls your heart a little near
You don’t have to hide it
I love you closer when you’re quiet
[Bridge]
Let the ache be honest
Let your guard fall slow (fall slow)
If the sky turns August
I’ll stay through the storm
[Chorus]
I love you closer when you’re quiet
Even when the words won’t come
You don’t have to stand there shining
To be the only
Only one
Every flaw that you fear
Is the reason I am here
You don’t have to fight it
I love you closer when you’re quiet
