Quiet Enough

erse 1 I lower my voice Before it fills the room Hold every feeling Like it might come too soon Some things stay longer Than words ever do Not everything heavy Is something to lose Pre-Chorus I watch you stand steady Like nothing pulls through And I start to wonder If that’s what I should do Chorus So I learn to be quiet enough To not ask, not explain Learn how to carry a heart Without calling it pain I hold it just lightly So no one can tell Like feeling too deeply Is something you unlearn Verse 2 You speak in soft distance Like you’ve already grown Like what once felt louder Learned how to be gone I measure my breathing Against how you seem Start doubting the weight Of everything in me Pre-Chorus I don’t say I’m tired I just smile and agree Like maybe this depth Is a flaw I should leave Chorus (alt) So I learn to be quiet enough To fit in your calm Turn a full emotion Into something small I hold it just lightly So it won’t ask for space Like needing to feel Is something you erase Bridge Maybe I’m not behind Maybe I’m still here Letting it move through me Instead of disappearing fear Final Chorus I don’t need to be quieter To prove that I’ve grown I don’t need to harden To be left alone Some hearts don’t outgrow What they’re meant to feel Some of us heal by staying Soft and real Outro So if I feel too much From where you stand I’ll keep my depth And call it my land
