[Intro — Spoken, Soft Rhodes and Piano] Mmmm… I know tomorrow comes too soon But tonight, let me be close to you No running, no pretending Just your heart next to mine Baby, I've missed you More than I know how to say [Verse 1] You say you're trying to understand my heart But we lose each other when the silence starts When I turn away, I'm afraid to fall I'm not leaving, I'm just scared of it all I know you carry things you never say I see you fighting just to make it through the day I've been reaching through the walls we made Hoping we can find the love beneath the pain Close the door, let the whole world fade Put down the burdens you've carried all day Your tired shoulders resting next to mine For once, we don't have to race against time [Pre-Chorus] If you're hurting, let me in We don't have to hide again I don't need you to be strong I just need you here when things go wrong [Chorus] I'm trying too, baby, can't you see? I need your love as much as you need me I've missed your touch, your laugh, your smile Come hold me close and stay awhile Let the clock keep moving outside Tonight, there's nowhere else we need to hide I don't need perfect, just honest and true I'm learning how to love while I'm loving you [Verse 2] Remember backroads, windows rolled down Late-night coffee on the edge of town That little lake house, rain on the glass Laughing in the truck, wishing time would pass slow Now your hand finds mine beneath the porch light We talk through our worries in the quiet night I steal your jacket when the air turns cold You pull me closer, and I feel at home We dance in the kitchen to our favorite song Burn the dinner, laugh, keep singing along You kiss my forehead, I lean into you It's the little things that keep our love true [Pre-Chorus] When I say I'm hurting, hear my heart I'm not trying to tear us apart I don't need fixing, just your embrace A little more patience, a safe place [Chorus] I'm trying too, baby, can't you see? I need your love as much as you need me I've missed your touch, your laugh, your smile Come hold me close and stay awhile Let the clock keep moving outside Tonight, there's nowhere else we need to hide I don't need perfect, just honest and true I'm learning how to love while I'm loving you [Bridge — Stripped Piano, Gentle Bass] I don't want to chase you when you close your door Or lie awake wondering what we're fighting for If you stumble, I'll reach for your hand If I lose my way, please help me stand Come closer, let your worries rest I don't need forever figured out just yet Just your arms around me, your eyes on mine And the faith that we'll get better with time Mmmm… No more hiding what we feel Let this moment help us heal [Final Chorus — Warm Harmonies] I'm trying too, and I'm staying here Let's trade our silence for something clear I've missed your warmth, the way we used to be Now I'm opening my heart, so open yours to me We don't need perfect, we just need to try No more shutting down, no more asking why If healing takes time, we'll take it slow Two hearts learning what they need to know [Outro — Whispered, Soft Piano] Stay right here… Let tomorrow wait Your hand in mine And no more running away I've missed you… Now I'm holding you No perfect love, no perfect plans Just two hearts learning How to understand I'm trying too, baby… And I'm here with you.
