Audrey
Style: Folk duet

[Verse 1]
You left the kettle singing low
I didn’t move to shut it down
The steam still curled where you’d been so
No need to speak, no need to frown

[Pre-chorus]
I thought love needed to be loud
To blaze and burn and never fade
But here you are, just here, unshouted

[Chorus]
Audrey, you’re the quiet part
Of every breath I didn’t name
Audrey, you’re the steady heart
That holds the warmth without a flame

[Verse 2]
The mugs still sit beneath the shelf
One chipped, one warm, one yours, one mine
No rush to wash, no need to elf
Just steam, and time, and you, and wine

[Chorus]
Audrey, you’re the quiet part
Of every breath I didn’t name
Audrey, you’re the steady heart
That holds the warmth without a flame

[Bridge]
I used to chase the thunder’s roar
Now I wait for your hand near mine
No need to fix what’s already more
Than any song could ever find

[Chorus]
Audrey, you’re the quiet part
Of every breath I didn’t name
Audrey, you’re the steady heart
That holds the warmth without a flame

[Outro]
Two mugs, one shelf, the steam still climbs
Just you and me, and quiet time
