Carry Me Quietly cover art

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Coffee gone cold on the table
Steam left an echo in the air
You said you’re "fine" but your hands were shaking
Like every word was a weight to bear

[Chorus]
Carry me quietly
Hold what I can’t hold for me
Say it’s alright
Even if it’s not tonight
I don’t need saving
Just stay when I come apart
Carry me quietly
With your loud
Loud heart

[Verse 2]
You trace the cracks in the drywall
Name every storm that we’ve survived
I laugh a little too hard at nothing
Scared of the silence between your eyes

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
[low vocal register] If I break
Then let me break here
On your shoulder
Not the floor
[soft harmonies] If I shake
Then let me shake near
Where I’ve never felt this sure before

[Chorus]
