whispered truths

[Verse 1](Whispered) Sheets pulled high, darkness falls Silhouettes against the walls Only tell you when the lights are down Words I'd never speak in daylight hours The way I flinch when someone shouts Reminds me of my childhood house I never told anyone that before These midnight confessions unlock the door [Chorus] Whispered truths between us now Things we only say out loud When the world has gone to sleep And our guards begin to fall In shadows we find honesty In darkness, finally free [Verse 2] (Whispered) Your breathing slows, you move in close I feel your warmth against my ghost Only tell you when the lights are down How sometimes I feel like I'm drowning inside The smile I wear is just disguise Behind my eyes a storm still hides I never told anyone that I'm scared That nothing I am or do is prepared [Chorus] Whispered truths between us now Things we only say out loud When the world has gone to sleep And our guards begin to fall In shadows we find honesty In darkness, finally free [Bridge] The things we hide in daylight Come alive at night Vulnerability feels safer When we can't see each other's eyes But somehow in this darkness I see you more clearly than before [Verse 3] (Fully voiced) I'm falling for you more than I should I'm terrified and misunderstood But only here, when lights are down Can I finally say what I'm feeling now I never told anyone that I love In ways that terrify and rise above These whispered truths between our souls Might be the thing that makes me whole [Chorus] Whispered truths between us now Things we finally say out loud When the world has gone to sleep And our guards begin to fall In shadows we found honesty In darkness, finally free And maybe someday in the light These whispered truths will still survive
