[Intro – stripped, breathy] [soft piano, distant texture, almost spoken] I didn’t notice at first… You were never loud about it Just… there [Verse 1 – intimate, close mic] You never tried to pull me closer Never asked me where I’d been You let me drift across your silence Like I wasn’t caving in You didn’t say the heavy phrases Didn’t need to make them land You were steady in the background Like a light I didn’t plan [Pre-Chorus – subtle lift] And I was chasing every fire That burned out in my hands You were tracing all the damage I pretended not to have [Chorus – emotional, expanding] You loved me quietly Like I might disappear Like if you said it louder I would run from hearing it You kept it in the spaces Between the things we said I only heard it clearly When you weren’t there instead [Drop 1 – melodic, airy, emotional] [no full lyrics — chopped vocal phrases] “Loved me quietly…” “Stay… stay…” “You were right here…” [wide synths, soft pulse, emotional lead melody] [Verse 2 – slightly more fragile] You memorized my distant habits Every way I’d pull away You never tried to stop the leaving You just made it safe to stay And every time I almost noticed You would shift your eyes from mine Like love was something you could soften So it wouldn’t cross a line [Pre-Chorus 2 – more tension] And I was louder with my breaking Than I ever was with truth You were holding every piece of me I never handed you [Chorus – bigger, more layered] You loved me quietly Like I might disappear Like if you said it louder I would run from hearing it You kept it in the spaces Between the things we said I only heard it clearly When you weren’t there instead [Drop 2 – fuller, euphoric] [add harmonies, stronger lead] “Loved me quietly…” “Don’t go… don’t go…” “You were right here…” [Bridge – stripped again, emotional peak] [everything drops out — just piano + vocal] Now every room’s a little louder And I don’t know why There’s no one here to hold the silence The way you did at night And all the words you never told me Are the ones I hear the most Funny how the quietest love Can echo when it’s gone [Final Chorus – biggest emotional lift] [full production, wide, cinematic] You loved me quietly I didn’t feel it then I thought that love was noise And not the absence of it Now every empty moment Is screaming what you meant I only heard you clearly After you left [Final Drop – extended, euphoric release] [anthemic, emotional, hands-in-the-air] “Loved me quietly…” “I hear you now…” “You were right here…” [Outro – fading, intimate again] [stripped back to near silence] You never said it… You didn’t have to

Quietly
