Lyrics

You see the parts of me I hide away,
Ask if I’m okay — more than I ever say.
Because “I’m fine” just isn’t true,
And I catch the worry shining through your view.

You bring me light when I forget to eat,
Your silence says the things words can’t repeat.
You don’t say much, but it means the world,
You’re the warmth when everything’s cold and curled.

[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t know how much it means,
When you fight my battles in between.
Picking up the pieces, shattered me,
Carefully, so patiently.

[Chorus]
Tell me why you never walk away,
Tell me why you see through all my pain.
Tell me why you care when I go numb,
Tell me why you stay when I would run.

Tell me how your eyes still see the good,
Tell me how you give more than you should.
Tell me how you know when I can’t breathe,
Tell me how your silence speaks to me.

[Verse 2]
You call me strong when I feel weak,
And somehow you make silence speak.
Even when the rumors start to burn,
You never flinch, you never turn.

A hand on my shoulder — just like that —
And suddenly the world feels less flat.
You see a kid still holding on,
To hope, to trust, to someone strong.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
At work, you’re like a father to me,
But at night I lie awake and see
Your soft brown hair, your emerald eyes,
Your smile that keeps me up at night.

[Chorus]
Show me how to stand when I feel weak,
Show me how to speak when I can’t speak.
Show me how to breathe when I’m too low,
Show me how to carry what you know.

Show me I’m more than just the past,
Show me your care was made to last.
Show me what you see inside of me,
Show me what sets me free.

[Outro]
So if I never say a word,
Please know your kindness has been heard.
In every heartbeat, every night —
You’re the voice that tells me: fight.
