“Between the Words”

🎶 “Between the Words”

(Written by Yazy Rosa)

You speak in half-smiles and quiet replies,

I read the meaning hiding in your eyes.

You joke to keep from falling too deep,

But I hear your heart in the spaces you keep.

Every “hey” that you send my way

Feels like a piece of you trying to stay.

I know the dance — I open, you pull,

But somehow we still meet in the middle.

You talk in silence, I talk in soul,

And somehow we make each other whole.

Between the words, I hear you —

Every pause, every laugh, every “maybe” too.

You don’t have to say you care,

I feel it hangin’ in the air.

You’re scared of love, I get it,

But baby, I’ve already met it —

It’s right here, beating through

Everything between the words and you.

I’ve learned your language, the soft disguise,

How you say “I miss you” without the lines.

You talk in comfort, I talk in truth,

But somehow they both still lead back to you.

I don’t push, I just stand near,

’Cause peace speaks louder than fear.

You hide your heart like it’s something to earn,

But love don’t burn when it’s meant to return.

So I’ll stay steady, calm, and real —

Even silence tells me what you feel.

Between the words, I hear you —

Every pause, every laugh, every “maybe” too.

You don’t have to say you care,

I feel it hangin’ in the air.

You’re scared of love, I get it,

But baby, I’ve already met it —

It’s right here, beating through

Everything between the words and you.

I see the wall, I see the light,

I see the girl who still wants to fight.

You think I’ll leave if you show the scars,

But love’s been waiting where you are.

Between the words, I hear you —

Your silence tells the sweetest truth.

No need to rush, no need to prove,

I already know what your heart would do.

You’re scared of love, I get it,

But baby, I’ll never forget it —

The way your soul breaks through

Everything between the words and you.

So when you can’t say what’s inside,

I’ll still understand your quiet side.

’Cause real love don’t need to be heard —

It lives between the words.
