Verse 1
We speak in different languages, same room, same bed
You say it out loud, I replay it in my head
You want it now, I need time instead
Somewhere in between, we leave things unsaid
You reach for connection, I pull back to breathe
You ask what I’m feeling, I don’t know what that means
You read every silence like it’s something I hide
I’m just trying to figure out what’s going on inside
⸻
Chorus
We don’t speak the same, but we’re trying to learn
Through the silence and the words that burn
When it’s hard, when it don’t feel right
We choose us… we stay and fight
No, it ain’t easy, it ain’t always clear
But I won’t disappear on you from here
If it’s love, we don’t let it die—
We hold the line… we don’t walk away tonight
⸻
Verse 2
You love through words, I show it through action
You need reassurance, I default to distraction
You want deep talks, I shut down or deflect
Not because I don’t care… I just don’t connect
The same way you do—yeah, that’s the truth
Different wounds, different views
You learned to express, I learned to endure
You chase clarity, I look for the door
And that’s where we break if we’re not careful
Turning small things into something unbearable
Two good people, just wired different
Trying to love through misinterpretation
⸻
Chorus
We don’t speak the same, but we’re trying to learn
Through the silence and the words that burn
When it’s hard, when it don’t feel right
We choose us… we stay and fight
No, it ain’t easy, it ain’t always clear
But I won’t disappear on you from here
If it’s love, we don’t let it die—
We hold the line… we don’t walk away tonight
⸻
Bridge
‘Cause love ain’t just feeling—it’s choosing to stay
When it’s easier walking away
It’s learning your language, even when it’s hard
Putting down pride, dropping your guard
It’s asking again when you’re tired of asking
It’s answering honestly instead of just passing
It’s fighting for “us” when life gets loud
When stress builds walls and distance grows proud
Bills, time, pressure, the world don’t care
It’ll pull you apart if you let it in there
And suddenly love’s not the center no more
It’s schedules and silence and keeping score
⸻
Final Chorus (slight lift)
We don’t speak the same, but we’re learning to turn
All the pain into something we earn
When it’s hard, when it don’t feel right
We choose us… we stay and fight
No, it ain’t perfect, but I’m still right here
Through every doubt, every fear
If it’s love, we don’t let it die—
We hold the line… we don’t say goodbye tonight
