The Way You Don't Know
Heavy Balloons
You brush your hair behind your ear
Like no one's even there
And every time you laugh like that
I just stop and stare
You say my name so easily
Like it's just a word to you
But it lingers in my chest
Long after you do
And I try not to read too much
Into every little sign
I feel you in the little things
In the way you move, the way you speak
And I don't know if you see me now
The way I see you every day
I don't wanna cross the line
Don't wanna lose what we are
But loving you this quietly
Is breaking my heart
You lean in just a little more
When you're talking low
And I wonder if you feel it too
Or if I'll never know
And I keep it all between the lines
Every word I never say
But it builds up in my chest
Every time you look my way
And I don't need a perfect truth
Just something I can hold
I feel you in the little things
In the way you move, the way you speak
And I don't know if you see me now
The way I see you every day
I don't wanna cross the line
Don't wanna lose what we are
But loving you this quietly
Is breaking my heart
If I said it out loud
Would it change what we are?
Or would I lose everything
Just for going too far?
Say it slowly
Stay right here
I feel you in the little things
In the way you move, the way you speak
And I don't know if you see me now
The way I see you every day
I don't wanna cross the line
Don't wanna lose what we are
But loving you this quietly
Is breaking my heart
Is breaking my heart
Is breaking my heart
