You don’t have to say it I already know Stay where you are Don’t look away You wear your pride Like a clean white shirt Buttoned too high Hiding where it hurts You say you’re fine With a tired little smile I let you lie For a little while You hate the way I notice everything The pause in your breath The shake in your hands I could be kind But where’s the fun in that? You look so alive When you answer back Call me cold Call me cruel Still you listen Still you move I don’t have to raise my voice You already lean in when I speak I don’t have to force the choice You already know what I mean Take your time I won’t rush But I won’t pretend I don’t want you Come a little closer No noise I can say it all In a low voice I keep it light I keep it slow Give you a reason Never let it show A hand at your back A place to breathe Nothing dramatic Just stay with me You think I don’t care Because I don’t explain Because I turn it Into a joke again Maybe I like The way you glare Maybe I stayed Because you were there If I choose If I begin I won’t leave room For doubt again I don’t have to raise my voice You already lean in when I speak I don’t have to force the choice You already know what I mean Take your time I won’t rush But I won’t pretend I don’t want you Come a little closer No noise I can say it all In a low voice No grand confession No borrowed lines Just look at me I’ll be honest this time I like your temper I like your doubt I like the way You never back down No joke No mask No alibi I want you here And I mean it tonight I don’t have to raise my voice You already know when I’m sincere I don’t have to make more noise Come closer Let me make it clear Take your time I won’t rush But don’t mistake Patience for indifference Stay a little That’s my choice Let me love you In a low voice Low voice No noise Stay close That’s all
