Don’t Make A Sound

(low guitar + bass, slow groove)

Don’t say nothing…

⸻

You pulled up late, didn’t text first

Like you didn’t wanna make it worse

Headlights cut through the drive

But you sat there a minute before coming inside

Same old look, different weight

Like you’re carrying something you won’t say

You don’t lie, but you don’t tell

You just keep it to yourself

There’s a tension in how you move

Like you’re trying not to choose

But you’re already halfway in

You just won’t admit it yet

⸻

You don’t need to say it

I already know

⸻

Don’t make a sound

Don’t say it out loud

We both know what’s going on

We don’t need it right now

Stay right here

Don’t turn it around

You don’t gotta say it

Don’t make a sound

⸻

You walk slow across the room

Like you’re measuring every move

Tryna act like it’s nothing new

But it ain’t the same with me and you

From a glance to a moment held

From a truth you never tell

You don’t run, but you don’t stay

You just fade in and out my space

There’s a line that you won’t cross

But you keep getting close

Like you’re testing where it breaks

But you don’t wanna know

⸻

You don’t need a reason

You don’t need a sign

⸻

Don’t make a sound

Don’t say it out loud

We both know what’s going on

We don’t need it right now

Stay right here

Don’t turn it around

You don’t gotta say it

Don’t make a sound

⸻

(guitar + bass only)

If you say it

It changes everything

If you leave it

It stays how it’s been

⸻

Don’t make a sound

Don’t say it out loud

We both know what’s going on

We don’t need it right now

Stay right here

Don’t turn it around

You don’t gotta say it

Don’t make a sound

⸻
