[Verse 1] There are words I never open, Little sparks I leave alone, Not because they are not honest, Just because I know they grow. I hear clearly what you’re saying, I see clearly where you stand, And I won’t turn your quiet truth Into something in my hands. [Pre-Chorus] There is beauty in the distance, There is peace in letting be, And I’d rather keep it gentle Than make it more than it should be. [Chorus] So I keep what I don’t say, Keep what I don’t say, I respect your world, your choice, I won’t break the line you made. So I keep what I don’t say, Let it fade, let it fade, Maybe not to fall in love Is the kindest way. [Post-Chorus] What I don’t say, What I don’t say, I won’t break the line, I won’t change your mind. [Verse 2] There is joy in how we’re talking, In the dream of what could be, But not every shining feeling Has to reach reality. Maybe distance keeps it golden, Maybe real would take too much, And I know from roads behind me How good hearts can hurt with love. [Pre-Chorus] So I trust the way you mean it, I respect the way you choose, And I’d rather carry silence Than become a weight for you. [Chorus] So I keep what I don’t say, Keep what I don’t say, I respect your world, your choice, I won’t break the line you made. So I keep what I don’t say, Let it fade, let it fade, Maybe not to fall in love Is the kindest way. [Bridge] It’s not cold, it’s not denial, It’s not less because I care, Sometimes love is knowing softly Not to take it somewhere. Sometimes love is leaving breathing, Leaving room and leaving light, Holding back the hand that reaches When the moment isn’t right. [Break / Drop] What I don’t say, What I don’t show, What I don’t let Turn into more. What I don’t say, I let it go, So I can keep What’s good in us. [Final Chorus] So I keep what I don’t say, Keep what I don’t say, I respect your world, your choice, I won’t break the line you made. So I keep what I don’t say, Let it fade, let it fade, Maybe not to fall in love Is the kindest way. So I keep what I don’t say, Keep what I don’t say, I respect your world, your choice, I won’t break the line you made. So I keep what I don’t say, Let it fade, let it fade, Maybe not to fall in love Is the kindest way.
