I Hear You

I know the room before I move
Every step
Every shadow you

Walls that breathe
The air that bends
I feel where every silence ends

Your footsteps echo
Soft and slow
You think I don’t
But I already know

The space you take
The way you stand
Like I can trace you with my hands

You don’t have to say a word
I already heard

I don’t see you

I hear you

I don’t see you
I hear you
I don’t need the light to feel you

Every word
Every breath comes through

I don’t see you
I hear you

Hear you
Hear you

Your voice gives more than words can show
Every high and every low

A little break
A hidden fear
You say “I’m fine”
But I can hear

The way you pause before you speak
The strength you fake
The cracks beneath

You look at me
But you don’t see
What your silence does to me

You don’t have to let me in
I already feel your skin

I don’t see you

I hear you

I don’t see you
I hear you
I don’t need the light to feel you

Every word
Every breath comes through

I don’t see you
I hear you

Hear you
Hear you

You look at me like I’m the one who’s lost
Like I’m the one who pays the cost

But you don’t hear what’s underneath
The things you hide
The things you keep

Maybe sight is just a lie
Maybe truth is in the sound

Maybe I’m the only one
Who really knows you now

I don’t see you

I hear you

I don’t see you
I hear you
I don’t need the light to feel you

Every word
Every breath comes through

I don’t see you
I hear you

Hear you
Hear you
Hear you

I don’t see you
I hear you
