Where the Unspoken Falls

I see the worry hiding in your eyes A shadow that lingers, a storm in disguise You don't have to tell me, I already know There's a pain that you carry, a fear you won't show I wish I could pull you out of the dark Banish your worries and cradle your heart But you keep all your secrets, keep them locked up so tight And now I'm here aching, I could help you to fight And all I want is to hold you so near To whisper the words that I know you can't hear Our silence, it binds us, it builds up these walls So we stay in those spaces where the unspoken falls We're dancing on edges, caught in between With words we can't say, with a truth that's unseen I'd give you my heart, but you'd see that as wrong So I love you in shadows and hide it in song I've everything, nothing, and some days that's smart But now when you're hurting, it shatters my heart You always play solo, you do things alone You carry your burdens, yes, all on your own Oh, I'd stand by your side through the darkest of nights If you'd let me in, I could be your warm light And all I want is to hold you so near To whisper the words that I know you can't hear Our silence, it binds us, it builds up these walls So we stay in those spaces where the unspoken falls We're dancing on edges, caught in between With words we can't say, with a truth that's unseen I'd give you my heart, but you'd see that as wrong So I love you in shadows and hide it in song I've everything, nothing, and some days that's smart But now when you're hurting, it shatters my heart I'd guard every dream, every fear that you hide I'd hold you together when you're breaking inside So don't be afraid, love, don't push me away Let me shoulder your pain, let me help you stay brave If there's just one chance, before it is time I I'd take on the world and I'd tell them you're mine I'd tell them I love you, and they'd know it's true But the wall isn't them, love, I know that it's you And all I want is to hold you so near To whisper the words that I know you can't hear Our silence, it binds us, it builds up these walls So we stay in those spaces where the unspoken falls We're dancing on edges, caught in between With words we can't say, with a truth that's unseen I'd give you my heart, but you'd see that as wrong So I love you in shadows and hide it in song I've everything, nothing, and some days that's smart But now when you're hurting, it shatters my heart I loved you in silence, I hope that you knew That even in friendship, my heart sang to you
