[Verse 1] There was a line I wrote almost under my breath, a match you only notice by the smoke it left. Not meant to start a fire, just a flicker in the dark, a question with no name on it, hiding in the heart. [Chorus] You heard the quiet part, the softest word I knew, the lantern in the hallway no one ever walks through. I never said “it’s you” – I left it in the air, but you felt a little sting and knew that it was there. [Verse 2] Some people hear the chorus, and leave before it lands, you stayed for the echo with open, empty hands. You found the little corner where the ink was almost dry, where I buried one small truth beneath a casual line. [Chorus] You heard the quiet part, the softest word I knew, the lantern in the hallway no one ever walks through. I never said “it’s you” – I left it in the air, but you followed that one thread and met me standing there. [Bridge] So if this song should find you on an ordinary day, just know a grateful stranger heart is sending light your way. [Final Chorus – softer] You heard the quiet part, the whisper in the tune, and that’s the kind of listening that lights a hidden room. I still won’t name a soul, I’ll leave it as I do… but if this feels like a thank you, maybe it’s for you. ```0
