Verse 1 You showed up like a painted story Layers hidden underneath Smiling colors on the surface Holding secrets quietly And every time I listened closer Another version came to light Like nesting dolls unfolding slowly One by one through every night Pre-Chorus We’re more than first impressions More than what we try to hide Love is learning every layer Without pulling them apart inside Chorus Strong relationships grow slowly Like nesting dolls in time Piece by piece we learn each other Heart within a heart inside Through honesty and conversation Through respect when things get hard We keep opening with patience And discovering who we are Oh-oh… every layer tells the truth Oh-oh… I keep finding more of you Verse 2 Some days we don’t fit together Some words land the wrong way round But trust is built in small moments Where understanding can be found You give me space to still be myself While standing close enough to stay Not losing who we are alone But growing stronger anyway Pre-Chorus Love isn’t about perfection Or never getting things wrong It’s choosing to keep listening And holding on when life feels long Chorus Strong relationships grow slowly Like nesting dolls in time Different layers, different stories Still connected deep inside Through boundaries and shared memories Through the calm and through the scars We keep unfolding with each season And learning who we really are Oh-oh… every layer has a place Oh-oh… love is giving someone space Bridge Some dolls are small and fragile Some carry years inside But every layer matters When they’re treated with respect and time And maybe that’s the beauty Of letting someone in You don’t rush the deeper versions You slowly learn where they begin Final Chorus Strong relationships grow deeper With honesty and care Not by forcing perfect moments But by choosing to stay aware Like nesting dolls we hold our stories Layered hearts beneath the art And every time we open gently We let each other see the heart Oh-oh… connection takes its time Oh-oh… your layers meet with mine Outro Open slowly Listen deeply Stay connected
