[INTRO]
(quiet, minimal, unsettling setup)
If I listen too closely
I start to hear things I shouldn’t
Not words… just weight
Behind every glance
Maybe it’s better not to know
Maybe it’s better I don’t
[Verse 1]
If I could hear what you don’t say
I’d never feel far away
But I’d lose you all the same
Inside your mind, inside your name
Every thought you try to hide
Would be standing right beside
No doors left to close or keep
Just everything you think of me
[Chorus (Hook)]
There’d be no silence left in you
No place your mind could slip me through
I’d hear the love, I’d hear the lie
Both at the same time in your mind
No silence left in me
No way to unhear what I see
The closer I get to you
The further I fall right through
[Verse 2]
You smile, but I would know the crack
The thought you take but take back
The moment doubt steps in too near
Before it even becomes clear
And I would hear what you don’t mean
The quiet fear behind the scene
Not betrayal, not a sin
Just being human underneath your skin
[Chorus (Hook)]
There’d be no silence left in you
No place your mind could slip me through
I’d hear the love, I’d hear the lie
Both alive inside your mind
No silence left in me
Just everything I shouldn’t see
The closer I get to you
The more I lose what holds me through
[Verse 3]
We think we want to know it all
But truth without a wall will fall
Even love needs space to breathe
Even hearts need what they leave
If I heard every passing thought
Every war your silence fought
I’d know you more than I should
And still not feel understood
[Final Chorus (Hook)]
There’d be no silence left in you
No place for mystery to move through
I’d hear the world behind your eyes
And watch what love slowly dies
No silence left in me
Just too much truth to ever be free
The closer I get to you
The less I know what’s real or true
[OUTRO]
If I ever stopped hearing
Would I finally be alone
Or would I just realize
I was never out of your mind
And maybe that’s the curse
Not distance… but too much closeness
No silence left anywhere
To hide inside
