When the world goes quiet

I used to run from every feeling,

Built my walls like they could save me.

Every night was just surviving,

Every touch felt temporary.

Then you found me in the chaos,

Saw the storm behind my smile.

You didn’t ask me to be perfect,

You just stayed a little while.

And slowly, like the sunrise,

You brought color to my skies.

When the world goes quiet,

And the lights all fade away,

You’re the only sound my heart

Still knows how to chase.

In the silence, in the shadows,

You pull me back to life.

I found peace inside your arms

When the world goes quiet.

Now your name feels like religion,

Like a prayer my soul still keeps.

You turned my broken conversations

Into melodies that breathe.

And maybe love was never fireworks,

Maybe it’s just staying near.

Holding someone through the darkness

Until they forget their fear.

If tomorrow falls apart,

If the stars forget to shine,

I would still choose your heartbeat Over every dream of mine.

When the world goes quiet,

I still hear your voice in mine.

Like heaven left the door unlocked And told my soul to try.

Every wound I

carried lonely

Finally feels alright.

Yeah, I found hope in love

When the world goes quiet.
