Lyric

On the quiet nights, the noise gets loud

Not in the streets, but under my skin somehow

Every time I say “I’m fine, don’t worry”

I’m the one who doubts it the most, honestly

When I smile, my heart goes mute

Bright outside, inside’s blue

I wanna move but I freeze in place

No clear reason, just afraid

Sometimes “be strong” cuts too deep

Even love can make me bleed

I know you mean it kindly

But tonight it’s heavy on me

So if you see me trembling

Don’t try to fix everything

If you’re awake in the same kind of night

Stay right here, even without words

We don’t have to be strong tonight

If we’re still breathing, that’s enough

If you carry the same kind of scars

Don’t hide them from me

The only reason I say “I understand”

Is ‘cause I’ve been there too

They say love looks different from far away

Like a movie scene that fades to gray

But when you’re in it, it’s heavy and real

Only the heart inside can feel

“Just focus on what you can do”

But some nights I can’t even see you

So if I stop, don’t let me go

Even my pauses are part of the road

Every time I broke apart

I learned how to hold someone’s heart

You think I shine? It’s not that bright

I just survived a lot of nights

If you’re awake in the same kind of night

Stay right here, even without words

We don’t have to be strong tonight

If we’re still breathing, that’s enough

If you carry the same kind of scars

Don’t hide them from me

The only reason I love you this way

Is I know what lonely feels like

Let’s shake hands with our left hands

Closer to the heart

No promises, no big plans

Just don’t fall apart

You don’t have to save me

I don’t have to save you

But maybe side by side

We’ll make it through

There’s a version of me I couldn’t save

That’s why I hold you this way

So tonight

I’m fighting myself softly

Until I can stand

Right next to your heart
