You made it right
When I got to the chorus, voices joined mine, Max’s, Julian’s, all of them, low at first, then increasing in volume and confidence, filling the room with their harmonies.
’Cause you…
You heard the note I buried deep
Pulled it from the dark like a secret I couldn’t keep
You saw the man beneath the armour and the choke
You held the parts I thought would break?—
Made them whole
If this is love, don’t let it go
Unmasked, unguarded,
Every raw and reckless hope
I’d give you every word I never spoke…
You’re the reason I can
You’re my naked note
[Bridge]
I spent so long trying not to need
Trying not to want
Trying not to be seen
But you…
You looked at me
And I wasn’t afraid anymore
[Final Chorus]
You…
You found the note I couldn’t reach
Sang it back to me until my knees went weak
You saw a man who’d never learned he wasn’t broke
Loved the voice inside the quiet
Till it spoke
If this is love, then let it show
Unmasked, unguarded,
