Deep

(Verse 1)
I smile soft, keep my voice down low
Hide the waves so they don’t overflow
Every spark I bury deep
Guarding secrets my soul must keep
(Pre-Chorus)
They don’t see what’s locked inside
How sharp it cuts, how loud it cries
One small crack, it all could break
So I stay calm for their sake
(Chorus)
So I stay quiet, take it slow
Keep it cool so they won’t know
There’s a storm beneath my skin
But I won’t let them get pulled in
I hold back, I dim the flame
Don’t want the world to take the blame
If I let go, I might destroy
So I stay small... just a quiet boy
(Verse 2)
They praise the way I fade to grey
Call me strong for turning away
But strength don’t feel like peace to me
It’s just the fear of setting it free
(Pre-Chorus)
I’ve got fire I’ll never show
Winds that howl, but I say no
I lock the door and lose the key
So no one feels the storm in me
(Chorus)
So I stay quiet, take it slow
Keep it cool so they won’t know
There’s a storm beneath my skin
But I won’t let them get pulled in
I hold back, I dim the flame
Don’t want the world to take the blame
If I let go, I might destroy
So I stay small... just a quiet boy
(Bridge)
It’s not weakness, it’s control
Not emptiness, just letting go
Of the need to light the sky
When all they want is soft and shy
(Final Chorus)
So I stay quiet, take it slow
Hide the power they’ll never know
There’s a fire I keep inside
I’ve seen what happens when I shine too bright
So I hold back, I dim the flame
It’s easier to take the blame
If I let go, I might destroy
So I stay still... just a quiet boy
