[Verse 1]
You don’t have to explain
I can hear it all the same
In the way your eyes stay soft on mine
When the world gets loud outside
You don’t have to reach
I can feel you next to me
Like a promise that was never made
But never broke with time

[Pre-Chorus]
Some hearts run out of words
Trying to say what they mean
But yours has always found me
Somewhere underneath

[Chorus]
The quiet gives you away
Every time you look at me that way
There’s a whole sky in your face
And I don’t need a single phrase
You say more when you don’t try
Than anyone could say all night
I know love when it stays
The quiet gives you away

[Verse 2]
You don’t have to be strong
I already know where you belong
Not behind some perfect smile
Not pretending you’re all right
Let the silence settle in
Let me read you skin to skin
There are things the heart can understand
Before the mouth knows why

[Pre-Chorus]
Some people need a vow
Carved in stone to believe
But I can feel forever
When you breathe next to me

[Chorus]
The quiet gives you away
Every time you look at me that way
There’s a whole sky in your face
And I don’t need a single phrase
You say more when you don’t try
Than anyone could say all night
I know love when it stays
The quiet gives you away

[Bridge]
No grand confession
No perfect line
Just your hand in mine
At the edge of the night

[Post-Chorus]

[Fade Out]
The quiet gives you away

(gives you away)
The quiet gives you away

[Fade Out]
The quiet gives you away

(gives you away)
The quiet gives you away

[Fade Out]
The quiet gives you away

(gives you away)
The quiet gives you away

(oh, it gives you away)
You don’t even have to say

(don’t have to say)
You don’t even have to say

(oh, it gives you away)
You don’t even have to say

(don’t have to say)
You don’t even have to say

(I hear it anyway)
The quiet gives you away

(gives you away)
The quiet gives you away

(I hear it anyway)
The quiet gives you away

(gives you away)
The quiet gives you away

(yeah, you give it away)
