Prompt / Lyrics
(Intro) (Room tone, soft inhale before the first line, piano barely touched) Yeah… (Mmm) There’s a lot I don’t say But I feel everything (Verse 1) (Low piano notes, subtle tape hiss) I notice how you pause before you smile Like you’re deciding if it’s safe this time You keep your guard up like a loaded gun But still let me close enough to feel the sun I memorize the way you say my name Like you’re scared it might mean something You tell me stories but you skip the pain I hear the silence in what you’re not saying (Background vocal whispers “I hear you”) Every time you pull away I stay steady, I don’t chase But it kills me all the same (Pre-Chorus) (Drums drop out, pad swells) I rehearse the words a thousand nights But they die right at the edge of my tongue ‘Cause love feels louder when it’s unspoken And I’m scared once it’s real, it’s done (Chorus) (Drums come in gently, layered harmonies) If you knew How many times I almost crossed that line If you knew How often I put your heart before mine I’d give you my peace, my pride, my past Every part of me built to last If you knew How deep this feeling goes You’d stop pretending you don’t know If you knew (Verse 2) (Bass glides, guitar echoes) I see your phone light up, you turn it down Like you don’t want ghosts in the room right now I don’t ask who hurt you back then But I feel it every time you flinch You say love never stays the same That it fades or turns to blame But I’m not here to play pretend I’m not them, I won’t disappear (Harmony rises) I’d learn your moods Your darkest days The parts of you you push away (Pre-Chorus 2) (Builds slightly higher than first) I don’t need to own your heart I just want a chance to hold it But you’re afraid of falling hard And I’m afraid you’ll never notice (Chorus) (Full but restrained — emotional, not loud) If you knew What I’d do just to make you stay If you knew How I pray you don’t walk away I’d give you my nights, my trust, my name No escape, no running away If you knew How real this feeling is You’d stop fighting what this is If you knew (Bridge) (Beat drops out completely, piano + vocal only) I won’t promise forever in a sentence I know how that sounds But I’ll show up every time When the world lets you down I’ll love you loud Or love you quiet However you need Just don’t make me invisible Standing right in front of you (Low harmony: “I’m right here”) (Final Chorus) (Beat returns, biggest emotional moment) If you knew How my chest tightens when you leave If you knew How much you already mean to me I’d build you a love that doesn’t bruise One you don’t have to lose If you knew You’d never question me ‘Cause I’m already all in, deep If you knew (Outro) (Instruments fade, breathy vocal echo) Maybe one day you’ll feel it too Everything I never said to you (Mmm) If you knew
