Silent Kind of Love

[Intro]
[Acoustic guitar arpeggio]

[Verse 1]
You built a wall to keep the past away,
I didn't mind waiting, taking it day by day.
Sharing the silence when the hours grew long,
Walking beside you, trying to stay strong.

[Pre-Chorus]
Didn't even realize the fall into love,
Just knew my day wasn't right until I checked up.
I was there for you anytime the going got rough,
Didn't know my heart was already caught up.

[Chorus]
I drew a quiet line, let my feelings fade,
But I'll never forget the late-night memories we made.
Still getting butterflies when you cross my mind,
It's a silent kind of love, the selfless kind.
(silent kind of love)
(selfless kind)

[Verse 2]
The seasons turned and your old friend returned,
I stepped to the side with an ache that burned.
Playing the good friend, keeping it light,
Holding onto that glimpse to make it through the night.

[Pre-Chorus]
Every evening I'd visit, just to ask how you've been,
Standing there talking, hiding the hurt from within.
Just a familiar face stopping by for a while,
Trading my peace for one more look at your smile.

[Chorus]
I drew a quiet line, let my feelings fade,
But I'll never forget the late-night memories we made.
Still getting butterflies when you cross my mind,
It's a silent kind of love, the selfless kind.
(silent kind of love)
(selfless kind)

[Bridge]
Watching from the shadows when the midnight is deep,
Making sure you were safe before I could ever sleep.
It's hard to let go, hard to quiet the care,
But seeing you happy makes it easier to bear.
(easier to bear)

[Outro]
Now I see your smile on a screen through the miles,
And the warmth that it brings makes it all worth the while.
Yeah, my heart still flutters, but the chapter is closed...
It was the purest connection that I've ever known.
(purest connection)
