Know That Smile

Описание: Lyrics - "Know That Smile"

Streetlight through the blinds, soft gold on your cheek,
my jacket on the chair like I finally can breathe.
I come in with the city still loud in my hair,
and you don’t ask for a version, you just meet me there.
I’m halfway in my armor, halfway out of my skin,
you pull me into quiet like it’s always been.

And I don’t have to explain the shaking,
you don’t make me earn your arms.
You look at me like you already know
what I am under the charm.

’Cause you know that smile I use in the bright rooms,
you know the little lie in “I’m fine” too.
You don’t chase it, you don’t break it, you just stay,
and somehow that’s what makes it fade.
If the world wants a picture, let them keep it awhile
in here with you, I can put it down.
Yeah, you know that smile…
and you love me when it’s gone.

We talk low in the kitchen like the night can hear,
sinks full of daylight we don’t have to fear.
I tell you something small that I never say out loud,
and you don’t turn it into a lesson, you don’t call me out.
My name feels different in your mouth
not a headline, not a measure, just a truth I can allow.

And I don’t have to keep performing,
I don’t have to hold my breath.
You make the quiet feel like mine again,
you give my heart its depth.

’Cause you know that smile I use in the bright rooms,
you know the little lie in “I’m fine” too.
You don’t chase it, you don’t break it, you just stay,
and somehow that’s what makes it fade.
If the world wants a picture, let them keep it awhile
in here with you, I can put it down.
Yeah, you know that smile…
and you love me when it’s gone.

I don’t need saving, I just need somewhere
to set my keys, to set my face, to set my fear.
I’m still learning how to be this close,
how to be real without bracing for the blow.
So if I go quiet, if I go thin
hold me like I’m not a problem to fix.

’Cause you know that smile I use in the bright rooms,
you know the little lie in “I’m fine” too.
You don’t chase it, you don’t break it, you just stay,
and somehow that’s what makes it fade.
If the world wants a picture, let them keep it awhile
in here with you, I can put it down.
Yeah, you know that smile…
and you love me when it’s gone.

You know that smile…
and you love me when it’s gone.
