[Verse 1] You sit quiet, turning glass between your hands Say you're cool, but I can read the plans Your voice shakes when you say you're fine Something in the room keeps tightening the line You look away, then you look back twice One small pause says more than advice No big speech, no need to pretend I know where this is headed before the words begin [Pre-Chorus] Should I ask you? Should I read your face? Every little move gives the truth away One breath, one glance, one change in your tone You don't have to say it; I already know [Chorus] Your eyes say more than words ever could When you look my way, I understand you One look holds a yes and a chance to begin Though we don't speak, I can feel where you've been Your eyes say more than a thousand lines All those careful sentences fall out of time In that quick flash, the whole truth comes through Even the words I was too scared to give you [Verse 2] You say, "I'm good," but your hand says, "Stay" Half-smile hiding what you won't explain We joke through the ache till the tears almost show There's a whole little world in the things we don't know You change the subject, I let it slide But the truth keeps leaning from the other side No courtroom talk, no alibi tonight Just your eyes telling mine what feels right [Pre-Chorus] Should I ask you? Should I read your face? Every little move gives the truth away One breath, one glance, one change in your tone You don't have to say it; I already know [Chorus] Your eyes say more than words ever could When you look my way, I understand you One look holds a yes and a chance to begin Though we don't speak, I can feel where you've been Your eyes say more than a thousand lines All those careful sentences fall out of time In that quick flash, the whole truth comes through Even the words I was too scared to give you [Bridge] If you're afraid, don't force a sentence tonight Stay right here, let me meet your eyes I'll read the answer before you can speak No need to promise, no need to be brief [Final Chorus] Your eyes say more than words ever could When you look my way, I understand you One look holds a yes and a chance to begin Though we don't speak, I can feel where you've been Your eyes say more than a thousand lines All those careful sentences fall out of time So don't say a thing; just look once again Your eyes already told me, "Stay"
