Soft light

[Intro] Soft light on your face, a quiet ache begins Two hearts in the same room, wearing different skin [Verse 1] You look at me tenderly, like I'm the only one But somewhere in your eyes, a shadow comes undone You're waiting for his attention, a door that never opens wide I'm standing in the doorway, watching you wait inside [Pre-Chorus] And the feelings are the same, they echo through the night Mine for you, yours for him, a tangled, endless fight He doesn't understand the storm behind your smile And you don't see the way I've loved you all the while [Chorus] We're two hearts in a paper boat, drifting on the tide You're reaching for a ghost, I'm reaching for your light The feelings are the same, but they're pointed different ways You wait for him, I wait for you, in this quiet, aching maze [Drop] (Oh-oh-oh, the feelings are the same) (Oh-oh-oh, but he don't know your name) (Oh-oh-oh, I'm calling in the rain) (Oh-oh-oh, the feelings are the same) [Verse 2] I trace the lines of your regret across the kitchen floor You whisper his name softly, like a prayer behind a door I'm the one who holds you when the silence gets too loud But you're still chasing shadows in a far-off, crowded crowd [Chorus] We're two hearts in a paper boat, drifting on the tide You're reaching for a ghost, I'm reaching for your light The feelings are the same, but they're pointed different ways You wait for him, I wait for you, in this quiet, aching maze [Post-Chorus] And I know, and I know, and I know it's not fair To be the one who's always there When the one you want is never aware And I know, and I know, and I know it's not right To love you in the middle of the night While you're dreaming of a different light [Breakdown] Maybe one day you'll turn around And see the love that's always been around But until then, I'll hold this space And love you from a quiet place He doesn't understand, no, he doesn't understand The treasure in his hands [Outro] You look at me tenderly Still waiting for his attention The feelings are the same But he doesn't understand No, he doesn't understand (Oh-oh-oh, the feelings are the same)
