love and longing

[Verse 1]
If you don't hear from me for a while
And my voice becomes a missing sound
Don't you think that I have disappeared
I'm just falling somewhere underground
Your world keeps turning, full of busy days
And I don't want to get in your way

[Chorus]
If I suddenly go out of sight
It doesn't mean my love has died
I'm just searching for a quiet place
To let the tears run down my face

[Verse 2]
I always wanted you to hear my story
But every time I try, the words feel wrong
Your life is crowded, full of light and glory
While my chapter is a broken, tired song

[Bridge]
So if you wonder why I never shared
It's not because I thought you never cared
I was just afraid my darkness would hurt you too

[Outro]
If you get silence, it's not goodbye
I'm just learning how to hold me tight
