I love you

(Verse 1)
I don’t say it like the movies do
No violins or perfect cues
It slips out in the quiet spaces
Between the words we never use

Like when you’re half asleep at 3 a.m.
And I’m tracing maps on your skin
Trying to memorize the feeling
In case it never comes again

(Pre-Chorus)
It’s not fireworks or a grand display
It’s in the things I never say

(Chorus)
I love you
In the pauses, in the mess, in the truth
In the way I stay when it’s hard to do
When the light fades out and it’s just us two
I love you
Not a promise I can always prove
But a thread I keep pulling back to you
Even when I don’t know what to do
I love you

(Verse 2)
It’s in the way I learn your silence
Every storm you try to hide
How I sit with you in darkness
Not to fix it—just to stay inside

I’ve seen the parts you keep locked away
The ones you’re scared will make me leave
But I hold them like they’re sacred
Like they were always meant for me

(Pre-Chorus)
It’s not perfect, it’s not clean or new
It’s choosing you when I don’t have to

(Chorus)
I love you
In the breaking, in the making too
In the weight of all we’ve both been through
In the fragile and the unspoken truth
I love you
Not a word that I just throw around
It’s a place where I keep coming down
Where the lost and the found feel the same somehow
I love you

(Bridge)
And if one day we’re just strangers passing by
Carrying echoes of a different life
I hope you feel it in the air somehow
All the things I couldn’t say out loud

That you were never just a moment to me
You were the shape of what home could be
Even if time rewrites our view
Some part of me will stay with you

(Breakdown)
No, it’s not loud
But it’s always there
In every breath
In every prayer

(Final Chorus)
I love you
In the ways I don’t know how to show
In the seeds of everything we grow
In the quiet places only we know
I love you
Even if we learn to let it go
Even if we never get to know
What we could’ve been or where we’d go
I love you

(Outro)
Not for forever, not for show
Not just for who you let me know
But for the parts you’ll never show…
I love you
