[VERSE 1] The night was steady, then the floorboards shook A whisper turned into a warning look Shadows moved fast on the hallway wall Something in the house began to fall [PRE CHORUS] I held my breath, tried not to make a sound But the world I knew was breaking down [CHORUS] Cracks in the quiet, sharp as a lightning strike Love turning sideways in the middle of the night I can’t stop the shaking, can’t make it right Cracks in the quiet, splitting open the light [VERSE 2] A door slammed hard like a closing fate Voices rising, bending under weight I reached for calm but it slipped away The safe I knew didn’t want to stay [PRE CHORUS] I held my breath, tried not to make a sound But the world I knew was breaking down [CHORUS] Cracks in the quiet, sharp as a lightning strike Love turning sideways in the middle of the night I can’t stop the shaking, can’t make it right Cracks in the quiet, splitting open the light [BRIDGE] I’m standing in the doorway, frozen in the frame Trying to understand the rules of a brand new game Nothing feels steady, nothing feels the same But I’m learning how to carry the weight of the flame [FINAL CHORUS] Cracks in the quiet, sharp as a lightning strike Love turning sideways in the middle of the night I can’t stop the shaking, can’t make it right Cracks in the quiet… Cracks in the quiet tonight
