Derek
Style: Irish air

[Verse 1]
You let the water cool slow
No need to chase the foam
The bubbles rise on their own
And so do you, all alone

[Chorus]
Derek, you’re the quiet part
That holds the whole thing true
Derek, I’m not asking for
More than the stillness in you

[Verse 2]
The plate sits heavy, worn
No polish, no disguise
Just warmth left where it’s borne
And still, you don’t compromise

[Pre-chorus]
I used to think love had to speak
Loud enough to be seen
But you just breathe, and I believe

[Chorus]
Derek, you’re the quiet part
That holds the whole thing true
Derek, I’m not asking for
More than the stillness in you

[Bridge]
No need to fix what’s right
No rush to make it shine
You’re here, and that’s the light
That turns the grey to pine

[Chorus]
Derek, you’re the quiet part
That holds the whole thing true
Derek, I’m not asking for
More than the stillness in you

[Outro]
The plate still holds the steam
And you’re still here, just so
