Softer landing

Verse 1

You keep saying nothing

And somehow that's the loudest sound

Every locked-up sentence

Is a wall I keep on running round

Pre-Chorus

I don't need your perfect answer

I just need you here with me

The quiet is the hardest

When I'm begging you to speak

Chorus

Honesty would bring me closer

Truth has a softer landing than the lie

I'm not your judge

I'm not your border

I'm more hurt by the hiding than the why

Post-Chorus

Than the why

Than the why

Verse 2

You pull back like a shadow

Scared I'll see the real you there

But hiding's just a slow goodbye

A door we both pretend is there

Pre-Chorus

I don't need your perfect answer

I just need you here with me

The quiet is the hardest

When I'm begging you to speak

Chorus

Honesty would bring me closer

Truth has a softer landing than the lie

I'm not your judge

I'm not your border

I'm more hurt by the hiding than the why

Bridge

Maybe the fall is gentle

Maybe the landing's kind

Maybe what you're guarding

Was never meant to hide

Chorus

Honesty would bring me closer

Truth has a softer landing than the lie

I'm not your judge

I'm not your border

I'm more hurt by the hiding than the why

Post-Chorus

Than the why

Come closer

Than the why
