[Verse 1: Male]
You say I turn the room cold when I walk in
I say I learned that from the way you lock in
You leave your coffee by the sink till it goes black
I wash the cup, you ask me why I’m keeping score like that
You read my silence like a door you can’t get through
I bite my tongue, then blame the bruise on you
We make a home out of the things we never say
Then act surprised when all the good gets packed away
[Pre-Chorus: Male]
I know I make it hard to see
What’s underneath the words I choose
I keep reaching through the hurt
Still hoping I can get to you
[Chorus: Male]
I love you through the pain you don’t see
Through every sharp word coming back at me
I’m still right here when we come undone
Still choosing you when the damage is done
You say I don’t know how to let you in
But I keep showing up and trying again
I love you through the pain you don’t see
You don’t see, you don’t see me
[Verse 2: Male Rap]
You say, “Don’t make a promise if you can’t stay calm”
I say, “Don’t call it leaving when you’re in my arms”
We trade apologies like coins across the table
Both of us are willing, neither one feels able
You catch the worst of me, I catch you keeping score
We know exactly where to aim, then ask what all that’s for
I’ve got your coat beside the chair, your note beside the keys
A hundred little ways you’re here, a hundred ways you leave
[Pre-Chorus: Male]
I know I make it hard to see
What’s underneath the words I choose
I keep reaching through the hurt
Still hoping I can get to you
[Chorus: Male]
I love you through the pain you don’t see
Through every sharp word coming back at me
I’m still right here when we come undone
Still choosing you when the damage is done
You say I don’t know how to let you in
But I keep showing up and trying again
I love you through the pain you don’t see
You don’t see, you don’t see me
[Bridge: Male]
If I could take back the nights I shut down
Would you still hear me if I spoke now?
I’m not asking you to carry all this weight
Just look at me before we turn away
[Final Chorus: Male]
I love you through the pain you don’t see
Through every sharp word coming back at me
I’m still right here when we come undone
Still choosing you when the damage is done
You say I don’t know how to let you in
But I keep showing up and trying again
I love you through the pain you don’t see
You don’t see, you don’t see me
[Final Chorus: Male, repeat, bigger]
I love you through the pain you don’t see
Through every sharp word coming back at me
I’m still right here when we come undone
Still choosing you when the damage is done
You say I don’t know how to let you in
But I keep showing up and trying again
I love you through the pain you don’t see
You don’t see, you don’t see me
[Outro: Female Solo]
I saw you standing there, but I couldn’t see
How much of your hurt was reaching out to me
I heard the words, I missed what they were for
I’m still here, but I don’t know what comes next
