V5.5

[VERSE 1] I know you’ve been waiting on words I couldn’t find Sitting across the table reading every sign You thought I stopped caring, I saw it in your eyes But baby I was drowning in the things I kept inside
They told me stay strong, don’t let ’em see you break So I built these walls up, thinking that’s what love would take But every brick I laid just pushed you further away And I been meaning to say this every single day
[PRE-CHORUS] It was never about you It was never that I didn’t care I just didn’t have the words And I didn’t know how to get there
[CHORUS] Chances are when I go quiet I’m louder than you know Chances are the silence between us Is everything I couldn’t show I’m not gone, I’m not finished I just lost my way back home Chances are I need you closer Even when I’m pulling away alone
[VERSE 2] I watched you try to reach me through the walls I made You never stopped showing up, girl, you never gave And I took that for granted, thought strong meant don’t speak But the strongest thing I’ve done is finally saying — I need
I need you to hear me even when I go still I’m fighting something inside me that I don’t know how to kill But I’m learning a new language, one I never was taught And every word I find now is worth every battle I’ve fought
[PRE-CHORUS] It was never about you It was never that I didn’t care I just didn’t have the words And I didn’t know how to get there
[CHORUS] Chances are when I go quiet I’m louder than you know Chances are the silence between us Is everything I couldn’t show I’m not gone, I’m not finished I just lost my way back home Chances are I need you closer Even when I’m pulling away alone
[BRIDGE] I carried every word I never said Like stones across my chest while I was lying in the bed Next to you but miles away I didn’t know how to stay
But I’m still here I’m still here That’s gotta mean something Baby I’m still here
[FINAL CHORUS] Chances are when I go quiet I’m louder than you know Chances are the silence between us Is everything I couldn’t show I’m not gone, I’m not finished I just lost my way back home Chances are I need you closer Even when I’m pulling away alone
[OUTRO — soft, just Rhodes and vocal] Chances are… I just needed you to know Chances are… I never wanted to let go
And most important — remember, you are extraordinary. — Ron Simplified Myers
