A Little More Than Words

Verse 1
I keep a little world behind my eyes,
Where all my quiet dreams come alive.
I laugh like nothing ever hurts,
Then hide my feelings underneath my words.

I know the faces, I know the names,
But somehow I still feel far away.
Maybe I'm just waiting for the day
Someone can hear the things I never say.

Pre-Chorus
And I don't need a thousand people
Calling out my name,
I just want one heart to notice
I'm not always the same.

Chorus
I want a little more than words,
A little more than being heard.
I want somebody to look at me
And see the things I never show.
I want a place that feels like home,
A hand to hold when I'm alone,
And if I give my heart away,
I hope you know I gave it all.

Verse 2
I've got a head full of impossible dreams,
And plans that change at seventeen.
I draw the worlds I cannot find,
And leave a little piece of me behind.

Sometimes I run before I start,
Sometimes I'm scared of falling apart.
But every time I lose my way,
There's still a little light that makes me stay.

Pre-Chorus
And maybe I'm too sensitive,
Maybe I think too much,
But every little thing I feel
Still means so much.

Chorus
I want a little more than words,
A little more than being heard.
I want somebody to look at me
And see the things I never show.
I want a place that feels like home,
A hand to hold when I'm alone,
And if I give my heart away,
I hope you know I gave it all.

Bridge
Maybe one day I'll find the road
That leads me somewhere I don't know.
Maybe I'll become the girl
I've always seen inside my soul.

And if the world gets loud again,
I'll keep my little light within.
I don't need to be understood by all,
Just someone who stays when the silence falls.

Final Chorus
I want a little more than words,
A love that doesn't have to hurt.
Someone who sees the softer side
I keep protecting all this time.
And when I finally find my home,
I hope I won't feel so alone.
Maybe all I've ever wanted
Was a heart that feels like mine.

Outro
So I'll keep dreaming,
I'll keep growing,
Even when I don't know where I'm going.
And maybe someday I'll look back and see—
The girl I was
was always me.
