Not Your Inner Pain

Gentle neo-soul ballad with intimate piano and subtle Rhodes; soft female vocals up close to the mic, airy harmonies on the hook, Sparse bass and brushed drums stay behind the beat, Piano accents answer the vocal phrases, opening into a lyrical piano solo after the second chorus, then a hushed, almost a cappella outro

V4.5-ALL

[Verse 1] You pass me the sugar Ask how I’ve been You laugh at my stories I drink you in You’re steady like Sunday Coffee and prayer You never see the lightning Under my hair [Chorus] I’m so glad I’m not your inner pain I’m so glad you’re not my falling rain We stay dry Under separate skies Bluebirds sing We just close our eyes [Verse 2] Our hands in our pockets Side by side We talk about weather Never the tide Your world feels so quiet Mine softly screams We sleep through the chorus Of all our dreams [Chorus] [Bridge] I’m grateful for the comfort Of the love you never name For the peace inside your breathing Far away from all my blame You don’t carry what I carry You don’t drown in what I fear You’re the smile across the table Not the salt inside the tear [Chorus] [guitar solo] [piano solo]
