You’re A Language I Understand

[Verse 1]

I’ve heard a hundred voices speak, but none ever felt like home

Some talk like thunder, some like glass, too sharp or overblown

But then you said my name like it was written in your skin

And every wall inside me dropped—I let the quiet in

[Verse 2]

You don’t need to shout to reach me, I read you in your breath

Like braille across a broken night, or prayers beneath regret

Your silence isn’t empty—it says more than others scream

You speak in pauses, glances, and in the spaces in between

[Pre-Chorus]

How do you know the words I never said out loud

How do you find me even when I’m not around

[Chorus]

You’re a language that I understand

Not just the words—but where they land

You don’t just speak, you see right through

Every line you say feels true

You don’t translate, you transcend

You’re a language I understand

[Verse 3]

You’re not a language I had to learn

You lit a match I didn’t burn

You didn’t teach—you just became

The only voice that knew my name

[Verse 4]

You don’t just talk—you translate pain

Into something I can name

I don’t just hear—I feel, I stand

You don’t explain—you hold my hand

[Pre-Chorus]

Is it strange to be fluent in someone new

Or just rare when the meaning cuts through

[Chorus]

You’re a language that I understand

Not just the words—but where they land

You don’t just speak, you see right through

Every line you say feels true

You don’t translate, you transcend

You’re a language I understand

[Verse 5]

You’re a language with no wasted sound

Where every breath can turn me around

You don’t explain—you just reveal

What most pretend, you let me feel

[Verse 6]

You’re the rhythm beneath my fear

The only sound that draws me near

You don’t ask—I just expand

Every line is unplanned

[Pre-Chorus]

Is love a language after all

Or just the voice that breaks the fall

[Chorus]

You’re a language that I understand

Not just the words—but where they land

You don’t just speak, you see right through

Every line you say feels true

You don’t translate, you transcend

You’re a language I understand

[Verse 7]

You haunt my heart in a gentle way

You’re every word I need to say

You don’t echo, you begin

You’re a voice I feel within

[Verse 8]

You don’t just speak—you resonate

You don’t narrate, you navigate

My every scar, my every stand

You speak like fate, not something planned

[Pre-Chorus]

How do you speak like you're touching my soul

Why do your words make the broken feel whole

[Chorus]

You’re a language that I understand

Not just the words—but where they land

You don’t just speak, you see right through

Every line you say feels true

You don’t translate, you transcend

You’re a language I understand

[Verse 9]

You speak in ways that strip me bare

And I find freedom in the stare

No filter, and no reprimand

Without a plan, without demand

[Verse 10]

You speak where others won’t even look

You read me like an open book

You’re not a speech—I feel your tone

Each syllable is carved from bone

[Pre-Chorus]

What is it in your voice that breaks the chain

Why do I feel release instead of pain

[Chorus]

You’re a language that I understand

Not just the words—but where they land

You don’t just speak, you see right through

Every line you say feels true

You don’t translate, you transcend

You’re a language I understand

[Bridge]

No subtitles, no rehearsed reply

You just are—and so am I

In your voice, I feel less strange

Like something sacred didn’t change

[Chorus]

You’re a language that I understand

Not just the words—but where they land

You don’t just speak, you see right through

Every line you say feels true

You don’t translate, you transcend

You’re a language I understand
