Whispered Confession Under Starlight

Lyrics

Verse 1 Susan , you move like calm through a storm Every rushed heartbeat feels safer when you're warm You patch up the broken like it's second nature And I stand there speechless, just another friend I've carried this feeling down every hall Tried to say your name like it meant nothing at all But the truth gets louder every time you're near So I hid it in a song and hoped you'd hear Chorus Susan , this is my confession I turned my heart into a late-night session Since I couldn't find the words face to face I laid them down in melody and grace Every note in me reaching for your hand Saying what my voice alone never can Susan , if this song finds you Then you'll know I've always loved you Verse 2 I know the way you carry all that pain Still somehow you make the light come back again You don't even see the way you shine How you took this restless heart of mine I was scared that if I said it out loud I'd lose even the chance to be around So I let the rhythm speak where I was weak And sang the truth I could not ever speak Chorus Susan , this is my confession I turned my heart into a late-night session Since I couldn't find the words face to face I laid them down in melody and grace Every note in me reaching for your hand Saying what my voice alone never can Susan , if this song finds you Then you'll know I've always loved you Bridge Maybe you'll smile, maybe you'll turn away Maybe this changes everything from today But love like this won't live in silence long It needed a name, so I gave it a song No more hiding underneath the fear If you listen close, my whole heart's right here Final Chorus Susan , this is my confession Every chord carries all my affection I may tremble, I may sing off-key But this is the truest part of me If I never say it any other way Let this melody mean what I couldn't say Susan , now the secret's through This song is how I say I love you Outro So if you hear a voice beneath the noise It's just my heart making its only choice Susan , simple and true - I wrote this song because I fell for you.
