You're more than you think

If you knew what your name sounds like when you’re not around You’d stop thinking you fade into the crowd You say “I’m fine” like it don’t take a toll Like holding it together’s just a role You move like nobody’s watching you Like what you do don’t matter much But you’re the quiet glue Yeah, you’re the quiet glue You don’t feel it, but it’s true You’re doing more than you ever knew You’re more than you think to me More than the words I forget to say You’re the calm in the middle of crazy The reason some days don’t cave If you could see you through my eyes You’d stop tearing yourself in two You’re more than you think Yeah, you’re more than you think You apologize for taking space Like your heart needs a warning label You don’t hear the silence you leave behind How the room feels less stable You think strength means standing alone But you’ve been carrying us all along You don’t count the lives you’ve changed Just by staying, just by staying the same You think nobody leans on you But we all do You’re more than you think to me More than the words I forget to say You’re the calm in the middle of crazy The reason some days don’t cave If you could see you through my eyes You’d stop tearing yourself in two You’re more than you think Yeah, you’re more than you think One day you’ll look back and see You were someone’s reason to breathe You didn’t save the world, it’s true But you saved me You’re more than you think to me More than a moment, more than a sound You’re the name we say when hope runs thin When you’re not around If you could hear what we say when you’re gone You’d finally know it’s true You’re more than you think Yeah, you always were So if you ever doubt your worth somehow Just know your name still fills the room When you’re not around
