A Quiet Kind of Love

There's a lightning in my ribs tonight,

Flickering slow beneath the city lights

I try to breathe, pretend it doesn't glow,

But every thought of you begins to overflow

The chemicals rush in like they know your name,

My heartbeat stumbles, nothing feels the same

I look composed, but inside I shake-

A quiet storm I'm scared to break

And I hold it in,

Oh, I hold it in-

This trembling truth beneath my skin

Silence feels safe,

But still I feel

Your shadow pulling at the wheel...

It's a quiet kind of love,

But it burns like thunder

Soft on the surface,

But it drags me under

I'm whispering your name

While my soul screams above-

A quiet kind of love,

That roars inside my blood

I watch the night from my rooftop view,

The whole world spinning while I think of you

My hands are steady, but my pulse betrays

The lion trying hard to keep his place

I'm shy as glass, but wired like a spark,

A silent fire dancing in the dark

You'd never know what you do to me-

How loud it gets where you can't see

So I hold it in,

Yeah, I hold it tight-

This hidden battle between heart and mind

Love isn't loud,

It's just alive-

A quiet war I can't deny...

It's a quiet kind of love,

But it burns like thunder

Soft on the surface,

But it drags me under

I'm whispering your name

While my soul screams above-

A quiet kind of love,

That roars inside my blood

Someday I'll let the lion out,

Let every fear come pouring down

But for now I guard the spark I feel-

Your magic moving through the still

Silence isn't empty,

It's where I learn to breathe

Love glows the brightest

When the world is fast asleep
