You tell me everything every laugh, every tear I smile like I'm fine while you're this close, this near I memorized the way you tuck your hair aside and buried what I feel somewhere I'll never find You ask me "am I pretty in his eyes tonight?" I say "of course you are" and pray you'll be alright These hands that hold your shoulder know just where to stop I've learned to love you quietly from a single step back Rose, I watch you bloom for someone else's sun I'm the soil beneath you when all is said and done I'd rather break in silence than see us fall apart So I'll stay right beside you and guard this secret heart If loving means protecting what we have right now I'll swallow every "I love you" and smile somehow Still here still yours just not the way I wanted to be
