[Verse 1] Every morning, same hallway light Your shadow passes mine, just out of sight [Verse 2] Coffee cooling, clock ticks slow Melissa, you'll never know [Verse 3] Some days you smile, soft and kind Like you already read my mind Other days you walk right through Like I'm invisible to you [Chorus] I replay every word you say Searching for signs that give you away I live between hope and doubt Holding everything I want to shout Melissa, I love you But I don't know how to say the words Get stuck, I let them fade If I speak, I might lose you If I stay silent, I lose me too Melissa, I love you That's the truth, I just don't know if your heart feels it too [Verse 4] I memorize the way you move The little things nobody sees you do A laugh you hide, a tired sigh Moments that pass like trains at night I wonder if you feel it too The quiet pull when our eyes meet Or if it's just a story I tell To survive the space between [Bridge] I walk this line every day One step closer, one step away Your name is loud inside my chest But silence feels safer than the rest [Chorus] Melissa, I love you But I'm terrified that truth could break what's alive If I speak, I might lose you If I stay silent, I lose me too Melissa, I love you So I waver between courage and faith [Outro] If love is a risk, I'm standing still Holding a heart I never meant to feel I'd rather have you just this way Than not have you at all Someday, Melissa, I love you Whisper low In every look, I hope you know If one day you turn and see This love was always quietly me Melissa, I love you No disguise, written in fear, written in time Until the day I find the nerve to tell you What you deserve, I'll carry this love silently Every day Melissa Every day Every day
