[Verse 1]
You have this strange way of existing
Like you walk into a room and change the air without trying
And I hate that I remember the smallest things
The way you tie your hair back
The way you stare out the window when you're tired
Like part of you is somewhere else
You never knew
But that night when you said, "I'm fine"
And your voice broke in the middle of the words
It was the first time someone felt more real
Than every song I'd ever heard
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause you laugh when you're close to crying
And you look away when somebody sees too much
You act like you're made of steel
But I see the cracks
And honestly...
They're the reason I can't forget you
[Chorus]
I fell in love with the chaos you hide
With the nights when you can't fall asleep
With the way you try to save everybody else
But never let anybody save you
And if one day you get tired of being strong 🎸
If the whole world gets too heavy on your shoulders
Then come here
Even if it's only for one night
Just let somebody take care of you too
[Verse 2]
You carry storms around in your pockets
And still ask everybody else if they're okay
Like your pain learned how to whisper
So quietly nobody hears it
You think no one notices
But I do
I notice when you stay quiet for too long
When your smile looks different
When you disappear a little
Like you're trying to fade away slowly
[Bridge]
And maybe you'll never hear this
Maybe you'll never know it was always you
The one who turned every song I wrote
Into something with a name, a face, a scar
Because before you
Everything was just noise
And after you
Even silence sounded like missing you
[Final Chorus]
I fell in love with the chaos you hide
With the strength you use just to keep from falling apart
With your tired heart
Pretending it still knows the way
And if the world ever breaks you into pieces
Don't put yourself back together alone
Some people stay
Some people hold your hand
Even when you think you don't deserve it
