**Negative prompt:** no pop production, no reverb-heavy vocals, no electric guitar solos, no orchestral strings, no drum kit fills, no upbeat tempo, no anthemic chorus, no background harmonies, no electronic elements, no over-production --- **Lyrics:** [Verse 1] He wrote it all down, every word a declaration Posted it for all the world to see Since the day we met, my life became a different colour Such beautiful certainty He called him his shelter and his soulmate and his compass Said he'd love him stronger every day I read the whole thing on my phone while you were sleeping And I didn't know quite what to say [Chorus] I never found those words for my wife Never let them cross my lips Maybe I was built for silence Maybe love lives in the gaps You won't hear me swear in public What you already know But I love you, quietly The way that rivers flow [Verse 2] Do I love less because I never made a speech? Or did something in me never learn the language? No declarations, no romantic midnight gestures Just a hand within your reach There are men who write their hearts across the morning And there are men who make the coffee every day I don't know which one means more when all is said and done I only know I'm staying, anyway [Chorus] I never found those words for my wife Never let them cross my lips Maybe I was built for silence Maybe love lives in the gaps You won't hear me swear in public What you already know But I love you, quietly The way that rivers flow [Bridge] Maybe I'm just not romantic Maybe something's missing from my wiring Or maybe this is what I am — A man who loves without requiring an audience [Outro] But I do I do,, yes, I love you
