[Verse 1]
You ask me if I’m doing fine
I smile and say, “I’m getting by”
But there’s a story in my eyes
I never learned to say out loud
I keep the old receipt from June
The coffee stain, the afternoon
A little proof that me and you
Were more than passing through
[Pre-Chorus]
I know I make it hard to tell
I hide the words I mean too well
But if you lean a little closer
You might hear me
[Chorus]
Read my silence, take your time
There’s a thousand honest reasons in these eyes of mine
I may stumble, I may hide
But every quiet heartbeat says I’m on your side
When I don’t know what to say
Please don’t turn and walk away
Read my silence, you’ll find me
Right here, loving you loudly
[Verse 2]
I leave the porch light on at night
Not for the dark, but just in case
You need a place to set things right
Or somewhere safe to show your face
We don’t need perfect, we need true
A little grace in what we do
I’ll bring my broken pieces too
If you bring yours to me
[Pre-Chorus]
I know I make it hard to tell
I hide the words I mean too well
But if you lean a little closer
You might hear me
[Chorus]
Read my silence, take your time
There’s a thousand honest reasons in these eyes of mine
I may stumble, I may hide
But every quiet heartbeat says I’m on your side
When I don’t know what to say
Please don’t turn and walk away
Read my silence, you’ll find me
Right here, loving you loudly
[Bridge]
If my hands shake, hold them steady
If I pause, don’t call it leaving
There are parts of me still learning
How to ask for what I’m needing
And if your faith gets tired tonight
I’ll meet you halfway in the light
No more guessing, no more maybe
Say you’ll stay here, say you’ll stay here
[Final Chorus]
Read my silence, take your time
There’s a thousand honest reasons in these eyes of mine
I may stumble, I may hide
But every quiet heartbeat says I’m on your side
Now I know just what to say
I don’t want to drift away
Read my silence, you’ll find me
Right here, loving you loudly
[Outro]
You don’t have to read between the lines
I’m here, I’m yours, and you are mine
You ask me if I’m doing fine
I smile and say, “I’m getting by”
But there’s a story in my eyes
I never learned to say out loud
I keep the old receipt from June
The coffee stain, the afternoon
A little proof that me and you
Were more than passing through
[Pre-Chorus]
I know I make it hard to tell
I hide the words I mean too well
But if you lean a little closer
You might hear me
[Chorus]
Read my silence, take your time
There’s a thousand honest reasons in these eyes of mine
I may stumble, I may hide
But every quiet heartbeat says I’m on your side
When I don’t know what to say
Please don’t turn and walk away
Read my silence, you’ll find me
Right here, loving you loudly
[Verse 2]
I leave the porch light on at night
Not for the dark, but just in case
You need a place to set things right
Or somewhere safe to show your face
We don’t need perfect, we need true
A little grace in what we do
I’ll bring my broken pieces too
If you bring yours to me
[Pre-Chorus]
I know I make it hard to tell
I hide the words I mean too well
But if you lean a little closer
You might hear me
[Chorus]
Read my silence, take your time
There’s a thousand honest reasons in these eyes of mine
I may stumble, I may hide
But every quiet heartbeat says I’m on your side
When I don’t know what to say
Please don’t turn and walk away
Read my silence, you’ll find me
Right here, loving you loudly
[Bridge]
If my hands shake, hold them steady
If I pause, don’t call it leaving
There are parts of me still learning
How to ask for what I’m needing
And if your faith gets tired tonight
I’ll meet you halfway in the light
No more guessing, no more maybe
Say you’ll stay here, say you’ll stay here
[Final Chorus]
Read my silence, take your time
There’s a thousand honest reasons in these eyes of mine
I may stumble, I may hide
But every quiet heartbeat says I’m on your side
Now I know just what to say
I don’t want to drift away
Read my silence, you’ll find me
Right here, loving you loudly
[Outro]
You don’t have to read between the lines
I’m here, I’m yours, and you are mine
