I saw you enter and the air turned thin The sky split open and the weather swept in I kept my mouth shut, kept my face composed A white-hot warning climbed through my bones You laughed with somebody, I silenced my sound Swallowed it, forced the thunder down There’s a sentence behind my teeth that wants to take flight But I hold it back whenever you come into sight If I reach, the world might know If I speak, there’ll be nowhere left to go So I stand in the aftershock alone With a crime I can’t atone I can’t say it I can’t show it I bury the fire below it One look One breath Love is a beautiful kind of wreck Love is a beautiful kind of wreck Let the rain cover the sound Let the clouds keep me down If you ask me what I feel I’ll freeze my lips sealed I could break this careful lie But there’s the chance you’d say goodbye So I keep the bolt beneath my skin And lose the life I could have lived If loving you means nobody knows Then I’ll be the sky where the lightning stays closed Don’t say it Don’t show it Bury the fire below it One look One breath Love is a beautiful kind of wreck I fell like lightning, straight through the dark One violent second, one permanent mark You’re close enough to ruin me, too far to hold And I can’t say I love you, so the secret grows cold I fell like lightning and nobody saw A silent collision with no one to call You’re the only truth that I’ll never reveal I’m burning in silence just to keep you near If I reach, the whole world might know If I speak, there’ll be nowhere left to go So I’ll hide behind what can’t be shown And live with a heart that will forever beat alone I can’t say it I can’t show it I keep the fire below it One look One breath Love is a beautiful kind of wreck Don’t say it Don’t show it Don’t show it Bury the fire below it One look One breath Love is a beautiful kind of wreck
