[Intro — close voice, fractured piano] You don't have to say it. I can tell. [Beat enters — solid and immediate] [Verse 1] You smile when you're tired say you're alright Make everybody laugh then go quiet at night You carry the weight like nobody can see But I know that look you don't have to hide it from me [Pre-Hook] You don't need fixing you don't need a line You don't need answers all of the time [RELEASE 1] I see you Even when you look away I see you Even when you say you're okay All of the hurt you don't know what to do with All of the love you keep giving straight through it I see you I see you And you don't have to disappear with me [Short progressive techno release — fractured piano and debris textures] [Verse 2] I've watched you go quiet so nobody knows Hold yourself steady while everything goes You give so much away then keep nothing behind Still somehow you ask me if you're wasting my time [One-beat void] No. [Build — beat returns heavier] You matter when you're laughing You matter when you're low You matter when you're certain You matter when you don't know [FINAL RELEASE] I see you Even when you look away I see you Even when you can't find the words to say All of the fear you keep under the surface All of the parts you think somehow aren't worth it I see you I see you You don't have to earn being held this near I see you I'm still here [Counter-melody rises] [Beat cuts] [Close vocal + fractured piano] You never had to prove anything to me. I saw you. [HARD STOP]
