Lyrics
[verse]
You ask about feelings like you already know
But my heart stays quiet where the streets used to go
I don't know how to speak in flowers and rhyme
But when I'm right beside you, that's love every time
[verse]
My world's rougher, harder than it looks from your side
But when you're here with me, I let down my pride
Nobody sees me lying awake at night
Thinking about you only, even if I don't say it right
[chorus]
What you know 'bout love if you never seen the war
What you know about me when I'm quiet at your door
But if you stay right here, I'll show you a world
Where behind the silence the realest truth unfurls
[verse]
They taught me not to trust, taught me to hold the shield
But with you I let it drop, even if just for a while
Maybe that's what love is, staying scared but still here
While everybody's leaving, I'm the one who stays near
[chorus]
What you know 'bout love if you never seen the war
What you know about me when I'm quiet at your door
But if you stay right here, I'll show you a world
Where behind the silence the realest truth unfurls
[bridge]
Maybe I don't know how to say it soft and sweet
But I know how to stay when it gets hard to breathe
That's my kind of love, rough around the edge
Take it as it is, that's the only pledge
