I Go Quiet lyrics

You watch the space between my lines Like something's slipping out of sight But every time I take that breath I'm choosing what to let inside You move closer when I slow down Think I'm fading from you now I go quiet when it matters Not because it doesn't But because it does When my voice feels heavy I don't wanna rush If I'm holding back a little It's just me learning trust I go quiet when it matters We never shattered anything No slammed doors, no diamond rings Just subtle shifts in how we speak Like we're stepping round our needs You call it distance in my tone I call it pacing what I show I go quiet when it matters Not because it doesn't But because it does When my voice feels heavy I don't wanna rush If I'm holding back a little It's just me learning trust I go quiet when it matters If you looked closer at my face You'd see I never left my place I'm still right here beside you Just careful with my pace (I go quiet when it matters) When my voice feels heavy I don't wanna rush If I'm holding back a little It's just me learning trust I go quiet when it matters Not disappearing Just breathing Stop time Let me just breathe before I talk
