[Opening Hook]
Why You're staring at me And I know You don't... Wanna know Why your crying You'll see
[Verse 1]
You stand by the wet window, hallway light on the floor,
A coat on the chair, the kettle's keeping time with the door.
I can count the quiet pieces on the counter: two chipped mugs,
And your shoelace still untied — small evidence of bigger loves.
[Pre-Chorus]
I used to hide behind excuses, let the silence write the lines,
But tonight the room's a witness and the clock won't apologize.
So breathe with me, let the small things speak — the coffee, the rain,
I'll meet you where the light hits the floor and speak without the blame.
[Chorus]
If you're crying, let me in — see the cracks where light gets through,
Every tear remembers how we fell, and what we tried to do.
Tuck your hands into my hands, let the hard lines soften, too,
I still want you — can't you tell? I'll stay, I'll break for you.
[Verse 2]
There's a photograph face down, and your sweater keeps the scent,
Of last week's laugh and louder promises that time had nearly bent.
You trace the rim of yesterday with fingers slow and small,
I watch the train of yesterday retreat behind the wall.
[Pre-Chorus]
You don't have to say the reasons — I already feel the weight,
I carried my own selfish nights and left you learning to wait.
But I am not the same as when the silence taught me how to run,
Tonight I bring my honest voice — a better kind of sun.
[Chorus]
If you're crying, let me in — see the cracks where light gets through,
Every tear remembers how we fell, and what we tried to do.
Tuck your hands into my hands, let the hard lines soften, too,
I still want you — can't you tell? I'll stay, I'll break for you.
[Bridge]
I left one winter evening because my courage wouldn't fit,
I packed my fear in paper bags and walked away from it.
But in the porchlight I wrote nothing that could hold us whole,
So now I'm standing on the threshold with my palms and with my soul.
If apologies were lanterns I'd light every street we crossed,
If promises were steady hands I'd risk the parts I lost.
[Chorus — Final]
If you're crying, let me in — see the cracks where light gets through,
Every tear remembers how we fell, and what we tried to do.
Tuck your hands into my hands, let the hard lines soften, too,
I still want you — can't you tell? I'll stay, I'll break for you.
[Outro]
Stay where the hallway light falls soft and small upon the floor,
Let the quiet teach us how to keep the little things we swore.
If you're crying, let me in — breathe out what you can't hold,
I'll stay until the morning comes and turns our silver into gold.
