[Verse 1] You hold your words behind your teeth While everyone moves on too fast I catch the pause beneath your smile And let the silence have its half [Pre-Chorus] I don't need to know your whole road Just where the ground gave way A little care can change the weight Of what we carry through the day [Chorus] If I can feel the world from where you stand Your hurt is not a distant land One open heart can turn the tide And make a gentler world outside If you can see the ache in me We build a kinder way to be [Verse 2] You tell me what the doctor said I listen past the practiced line No fixing every broken thing Just staying here beside your time [Pre-Chorus] A patient ear, a softer answer A hand that doesn't judge Small acts gather, step by step And shift the shape of us [Chorus] If I can feel the world from where you stand Your hurt is not a distant land One open heart can turn the tide And make a gentler world outside If you can see the ache in me We build a kinder way to be [Outro] Where you stand, I try to see Where I stand, you make room for me
