A Million Different Stars

[Verse 1]
You make a careful heart forget its rules
I lose my balance just standing near you
Every small kindness cuts deeper than truth
I carry the words, but they stop when I do
[Pre-Chorus]
I rehearse your name behind my teeth
Then let the silence cover me
[Chorus]
I want you more than I know how to say
Love you in a thousand hidden ways
Desire keeps pulling my hands through the dark
But I lock every sentence inside my heart
You make holding back feel impossible
Still I’m scared to let you know it all
[Verse 2]
I study the space between your replies
The half-smile you give when you catch my eyes
If I cross the distance, what will I lose?
The safest lie is that I’m fine without you
[Pre-Chorus]
I rehearse your name behind my teeth
Then let the silence cover me
[Chorus]
I want you more than I know how to say
Love you in a thousand hidden ways
Desire keeps pulling my hands through the dark
But I lock every sentence inside my heart
You make holding back feel impossible
Still I’m scared to let you know it all
[Bridge]
If courage is a door, I’m leaning on the frame
One breath from the truth, one step from your name
Maybe tonight I’ll stop guarding the spark
And place what I feel in the open at last
[Final Chorus]
I want you more than I know how to say
Love you in a thousand unguarded ways
Desire is burning straight through every wall
I’m done pretending I don’t feel it at all
You make holding back feel impossible
So I’m telling you now: I want it all
[Outro]
I want you more than I know how to say
I love you—please don’t look away
