Unspoken Lines

Verse 1

I've learned to hide the words that shake my soul,

Keep them folded up where no one knows.

A thousand thoughts behind a careful smile,

Afraid one truth could change it all.

Every laugh, every moment we share,

Feels too precious to gamble away.

So I bite my tongue and carry this weight,

Pretending I'm okay.

Pre-Chorus

'Cause what if honesty breaks the light?

What if the closeness fades tonight?

I'd rather ache in quiet spaces,

Than lose the comfort of your face.

Chorus

So I'll love you in unspoken lines,

Keep my heart between the spaces and the signs.

I'll carry every "what if" through the years,

Drown the words inside my fears.

I'd rather stand beside you incomplete,

Than risk the chance you'll walk away from me.

Maybe silence is the price I pay,

To keep what we have safe.

Verse 2

There are storms behind these steady eyes,

Conversations living only in my mind.

I've rehearsed a thousand different ways,

But courage always slips away.

Because some feelings don't come with a map,

And some truths can't be taken back.

So I stay right here between hope and regret,

Walking that fragile track.

Chorus

And I'll love you in unspoken lines,

Keep my heart between the spaces and the signs.

I'll carry every "what if" through the years,

Hide the truth behind my fears.

I'd rather have your friendship every day,

Than watch everything we've built just drift away.

Maybe silence is the price I pay,

To keep what we have safe.

Bridge

But late at night I wonder, Would you have understood? Would the world have fallen apart, Or turned out better than I thought it would?

Maybe someday I'll find the strength, To let these guarded feelings breathe. Until then they'll live inside the songs, In every note you never see.

Final Chorus

So I'll love you in unspoken lines,

With a heart that's full but terrified.

Holding on to all the things we are,

Too afraid to reach too far.

And if these words remain unsaid,

They'll still be true inside my head.

Some stories never leave the page,

Some hearts protect what they can't say.

And I'll keep loving quietly, Even when you never know...
