I used to think love had to hurt
Like silence breaking into words
Like holding on until it burns
And calling pain what we deserve
I learned to brace, I learned to fight
Every feeling felt too loud
But you walked in so gentle
And the noise just settled down
Love comes softly, not like a storm
It stays when the night feels long
In your arms, I don’t pretend
I’m enough, just as I am
You don’t promise me the sky
You don’t say you’ll never lie
You just look me in the eye
And somehow that feels right
No pressure hanging in the air
No fear of who we’ll be
Love comes softly, slow and kind
It doesn’t rush, it takes its time
Every doubt just fades away
When you say my name
If love breaks, I won’t regret
Every moment we’ve met
I’d rather feel and fall apart
Than never open up my heart
Love comes softly, piano low
Like midnight snow, like morning glow
If it leaves, I’ll still be proud
I loved you fully, out loud
Love… softly
