Lyrics

I have lived inside my own head
Like a tenant paying rent on borrowed noise
Always something running in the background
Always some unfinished war without a cause
Kept the radio on to fill the spaces
Kept the lights on just to have something to do
Never knew what quiet was supposed to feel like
Until the room got loud the second you walked through
I've been carrying a weight I stopped noticing
The kind that disappears and then you feel the ghost
Shook a thousand hands and called it living
Mistook the motion for the thing that matters most
Then you asked me nothing worth remembering
And somehow that undid about a decade's worth of walls
Turns out I was never good at standing still
Until standing still with you
Was no effort at all
I didn't know I was exhausted
Till you gave me somewhere to put it down
Didn't know how long I'd been holding my breath
Till your name
Was the sound
That let me breathe out
You are the first quiet I have ever trusted
The first stillness that didn't feel like giving up
I didn't know I had a heart until I lost it
Didn't know what lost meant
Until you showed up
You don't fix me — you don't complete me
Those words were never big enough or true
You just make the noise
Stop
And that is everything
That is everything I never knew
I needed from you
There are rooms I keep locked out of habit
Not because there's anything left inside
Empty architecture, just a door and a number
Proof that I once thought I had something to hide
You never asked to see them — never pushed me
Never handed me a map back to myself
You just sat across the table in the ordinary light
And somehow that was more
Than anything or anyone else
I didn't know I was exhausted
Till you gave me somewhere to put it down
Didn't know how long I'd been holding my breath
Till your name
Was the sound
That let me breathe out
You are the first quiet I have ever trusted
The first stillness that didn't feel like giving up
I didn't know I had a heart until I lost it
Didn't know what lost meant
Until you showed up
You don't fix me — you don't complete me
Those words were never big enough or true
You just make the noise
Stop
And that is everything
That is everything I never knew
I needed from you
I needed from you
I used to think that peace
Was something you negotiated with
Something you earned
After enough damage
After enough distance
Then you laughed at something stupid
On an ordinary Tuesday
And the whole argument
Just
Dissolved
You are the first quiet I have ever trusted
The first stillness that didn't feel like giving up
I didn't know I had a heart until I lost it
Didn't know what lost meant
Until you showed up
You don't fix me — you don't complete me
Those words were never big enough or true
You just make the noise
Stop
And that is everything
That is everything
That is everything I never knew
I needed from you
