[Intro] [Verse 1] She showed up quiet on a dusty road Faded lights in a tired glow Didn’t say much, just met my eyes Like she already knew my lies [Pre-Chorus] I keep things guarded, keep them tight Wear that silence every night But somethin’ in the way she stayed Made me drop what I couldn’t say [Chorus] I’m harder than I look But you see through All the noise I’m harder than I look But you slow me down Make the dark feel choice [Verse 2] Streetlamp hum on an empty lane Talkin’ low through old mistakes She don’t push, she don’t pry Just lets the moment decide [Pre-Chorus] Every word lands calm and true Like she ain’t tryin’ to change me, just see me through For the first time in a long damn while I don’t feel the need to run or hide [Chorus] I’m harder than I look But you see through All the noise I’m harder than I look But you slow me down Make the dark feel choice [Interlude] [Solo] [Verse 3] Morning light through a cracked windshield Don’t know what’s next, but this feels real She takes my hand, don’t say a word That says more than I ever heard [Pre-Chorus] No big promises, no grand plans Just right here, just where I stand If this is change, I’ll let it come For once, I ain’t afraid of somethin’ done [Chorus] I’m harder than I look But you see through All the noise I’m harder than I look But you slow me down Make the dark feel choice [Outro]
