Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] When I look at you I miss the outfit But I catch the way you drag that leg Like your pulling yesterday behind you I see the way you lean on your left side How your shoulder tilts Just a little How they fold in on themselves Like their tired of holding back The jacket hits the floor My eyes don’t follow I map the careful way you turn Like every step’s a bargain I don't see the color on your mouth Just the way it trembles when you laugh [Chorus] I notice what you hide All the weight behind your eyes Every wince you turn to light Every hurt you wrap in style I don't fall for what you show me I fall for what survives I don't see the same as most I notice what you hide And I swear I will still stay When I see you that way [Verse 2] I miss the haircut every time But I catch the way your hands shake When you push your hair out of your face Like you're stalling for one more breath I notice when the tears start to gather How you quickly change the subject Everyone laughs in time Your smile comes late I’m counting all the punchlines That don’t reach your face I don't mark the shade of your skin I trace the edges of each scar The faded ink along your arm Telling stories of who you were [Chorus] I notice what you hide All the weight behind your eyes Every wince you turn to light Every hurt you wrap in style I don't fall for what you show me I fall for what survives I don't see the same as most I notice what you hide And I swear I will still stay When I see you that way [Bridge] I listen for the words you skip The stories you start then let go quiet The way you say "I'm fine" too quick Like a door slammed on a riot You ask “What do you notice?” You’re fixing at your hairline I answer with my silence ’cause the truth might feel unkind I don’t see what you’re showing I see what you’re surviving Tired little flicker Still somehow shining [Chorus] I notice what you hide All the weight behind your eyes Every wince you turn to light Every hurt you wrap in style I don't fall for what you show me I fall for what survives I don't see the same as most I notice what you hide And I swear I will still stay When I see you that way
