Lyrics

I felt the tremble in the silence,
Like a warning in the midnight air.
You've been moving with a secret rhythm,
Something telling me you're not all there.
I see the way you hide your heartbeat,
Like you're scared of what I'm gonna find.
But baby, truth don't stay in shadows--
It always slips out over time.

tremble in the silence

secret rhythm

truth don't stay in shadows


Your friends been talking in the corners,
Dropping hints they didn't mean to share.
I catch the whispers when I walk in,
And suddenly the room feels bare.
You say I'm reading into nothing,
But your eyes keep giving you away.
I'm trying hard to keep my cool now,
But something's shifting day by day.

friends been talking

whispers when I walk in

eyes keep giving you away

(Chorus)
'Cause I heard it through the grapevine,
You've been stepping past the love we made.
And I'm trying not to lose my mind,
Knowing someone else got in the way.
If the rumors got a piece of truth,
Tell me now before I fade.
Baby, don't you leave me hanging--
Say it straight, don't make me wait.

heard it through the grapevine

lose my mind

don't you leave me hanging


I see the distance growing wider,
Like a river running cold and deep.
You turn away when I get closer,
Like you're guarding something you can't keep.
I'm holding on to what we started,
But the cracks are showing through the seams.
Tell me if I'm fighting for a memory,
Or something more than broken dreams.

distance growing wider

cracks are showing

fighting for a memory

(Bridge)
If you're slipping from my arms tonight,
Don't let me find out secondhand.
Just look me in the eyes and tell me
If I'm still your only man.

slipping from my arms

look me in the eyes

(Chorus)
'Cause I heard it through the grapevine,
You've been stepping past the love we made.
And I'm trying not to lose my mind,
Knowing someone else got in the way.
If the rumors got a piece of truth,
Tell me now before I fade.
Baby, don't you leave me hanging--
Say it straight, don't make me wait.

rumors got a piece of truth

say it straight

don't make me wait


So if the story's really changing,
And you're walking down a different line,
I'll take the hurt but not the silence--
Just give me honesty this time.
'Cause love don't live in hidden places,
And secrets only twist the knife.
If we're ending, let it end with truth--
Not whispers running through my life.
