Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You whisper words to me no one has heard
Call me your calm in a world that burns
But once the daylight calls your name
You tuck your heart behind your chain

[Pre-Chorus]
So warm in here, but once you walk outside
I guess you do what you need to survive

[Chorus]
When we're alone, you let it go
The gentlest heart that the crowd won't know
And it hurts me that you won't let it show
Cause you're the man I love when we're alone

[Verse 2]
You hurt me and you didn't even realize
It's like you forget my love when you're with your guys
Then you talk like love is for the weak
Please don't say you're ashamed of me

[Pre-Chorus]
So warm in here, but once you walk outside
I guess you do what you need to survive
I'm a bit lost, can you help me understand?
Cause this is not the man who holds my hand

[Chorus]
When we're alone, you let it go
The gentlest heart that the crowd won't know
And it hurts me that you won't let it show
Cause you're the man I love when we're alone

[Bridge]
If the pressure's too much and this front is a need
Then, I'll proudly be the place where you can breathe
Cause part of me is flattered I'm the only one who sees
But, when you're not you, who do I believe?

[Chorus]
When we're alone, you let it go
The gentlest heart that the crowd won't know
And it hurts me that you won't let it show
Cause you're the man I love when we're alone

[Outro]
When we're alone I hope it's real
So, every scar you hide, I can help you heal
