Unspoken Promises

Silence hangs heavy in this room
Tracing shadows in the moonlight
I carry words I never let bloom
Keeping secrets from the light

I see questions in your eyes
Longing that we both disguise
Maybe when the fear is gone
We’ll find strength to carry on

These are unspoken promises I keep
Deeper than the secrets we bury deep
Like a tide pulling at the shore
I search for ways to say much more
Not in whispers, but truth we find
Leaving unspoken ghosts behind

Clock ticking on the hollow wall
Echoes of things left unsaid
Standing steady, waiting for the fall
Crowns of doubt upon our head

These are unspoken promises I keep
Deeper than the secrets we bury deep
Like a tide pulling at the shore
I search for ways to say much more
Not in whispers, but truth we find
Leaving unspoken ghosts behind

Words are shadows in the dark
But love is fire that leaves a spark

I’ll hold on 'til the morning comes
Beating rhythm of silent drums

These are unspoken promises I keep
Deeper than the secrets we bury deep
Like a tide pulling at the shore
I search for ways to say much more
Not in whispers, but truth we find
Leaving unspoken ghosts behind

Unspoken promises...
Lingering in the air
I’m breaking through
To reach for you
In the quiet, I am yours.
