Keep Talking

[Verse 1]
You started talking like I wasn’t there
Same room, same distance
Didn’t look at me once
Just kept going like it was safe
I leaned back in the chair
Didn’t interrupt you
You thought silence meant nothing
I needed to hear it

⸻

[Pre-Chorus]
I didn’t stop you
Didn’t step in
I let it play out
From start to end

⸻

[Chorus]
Keep talking
That’s how I know
You say more without me
Than you ever show

Keep talking
Don’t slow it down
Some things come out clearer
When I’m not around

⸻

[Verse 2]
You didn’t fix a single word
Didn’t walk it back
You sounded sure of everything
Like I wasn’t part of that
I used to ask for reasons
Used to give you time
Now I don’t need a second version
You gave me yours just fine

⸻

[Pre-Chorus]
I didn’t move
Didn’t react
I let the moment
Handle that

⸻

[Chorus]
Keep talking
That’s how I know
You say more without me
Than you ever show

Keep talking
Don’t slow it down
Some things come out clearer
When I’m not around

⸻

[Bridge — PEAK]
I could’ve cut you off
Said your name out loud
But everything you said right then
Hit different without me now

⸻

(SIGNATURE LINE — LOCKED)
I didn’t lose you in silence — I understood you in it

⸻

[Final Chorus]
Keep talking
That was enough
Didn’t need your version
You already said too much

Keep talking
I won’t forget
Some things don’t come back
Once you hear them like that

⸻

[Outro]
You kept talking
I stopped listening
