[Intro: fretless bass melody, glitch percussion] [Verse 1: intimate syncopated baritone] You stumbled through a story I was ready with advice Had my answer halfway loaded Before you finished the first line But I put my clever words away And let the silence have its say [Pre-Chorus: ascending guitar counterpoint] And somewhere in the space I made I heard the things you couldn't say [Chorus: explosive major-key harmonies] I'll hear the whole sentence I'll let your story breathe You don't need another answer You need someone who believes That your words are worth the waiting And your tears are worth the time I'll hear the whole sentence Before I offer mine [Break: polyrhythmic slap bass, tom fills] [Verse 2: warm melodic phrasing] I watched your shoulders settle Like a weight had disappeared Didn't fix a single problem But you finally felt heard [Bridge: half-time, vulnerable] Sometimes love is not a speech It's knowing when to let words cease [Final Chorus: stacked harmonies, cathartic] I'll hear the whole sentence Let every silence sing A kinder world begins With someone listening [Outro: resolving fretless bass]
