[Verse 1]
There's a stillness that surrounds you like a second skin
A whole ocean running quiet underneath your grin
You read the room before you speak, you feel before you see
There's a labyrinth inside you and you hold the only key
What looks like calm to everyone is just the surface tension
Of a depth most people never have the patience or intention

[PreChorus]
You carry more than anyone could know
A fire burning slow beneath the snow

[Chorus]
Leslie, you were written in the dark between the stars
Every scar a secret map of just how deep you are
You don't need to prove the tides that pull beneath your chest
The ones who earn your trust will know — you've always been enough

[Verse 2]
You love like someone ancient who has loved before
Not with casual hands but with the whole of every door
You need the real, the honest, the adventure and the wide
Not a love that clips your wingspan or a truth someone can hide
You give yourself like something rare and still you ask for less
But the way you love somebody is a kind of holiness

[PreChorus]
You built your walls from lessons not from fear
And every stone knows how to disappear

[Chorus]
Leslie, you were written in the dark between the stars
Every scar a secret map of just how deep you are
You don't need to prove the tides that pull beneath your chest
The ones who earn your trust will know — you've always been enough

[Verse 3]
You've silenced yourself before, swallowed words mid-air
Felt the weight of being misread and pretended you didn't care
But your voice — the way it thinks in shadows, layers, and in bone
Has always been the kind of truth that turns a house into a home
You see through to the marrow of the things most people miss
There's a wisdom in your quiet that the world needs more of this

[PreChorus]
The ones who looked past you were looking wrong
The silence was the verse before the song

[Chorus]
Leslie, you were written in the dark between the stars
Every scar a secret map of just how deep you are
You don't need to prove the tides that pull beneath your chest
The ones who earn your trust will know — you've always been enough

[Verse 4]
You've climbed your way through rooms that didn't want you there
You've built the ground beneath your feet from nothing but your care
The mountain didn't move for you, so you became the climb
And every time you almost broke, you made it back in time
You don't need to reach the peak for someone to look up
Even standing in the valley, you are more than just enough

[PreChorus]
The cosmos didn't make you to be small
It carved you deep to hold it all

[Chorus]
Leslie, you were written in the dark between the stars
Every scar a secret map of just how deep you are
You don't need to prove the tides that pull beneath your chest
The ones who earn your trust will know — you've always been enough

[Bridge]
Let the weight you've been carrying finally rest
What you thought was your burden was making you blessed
You were never the storm — you were always the ground
The most extraordinary thing they ever found

[Outro]
The night that made you knew exactly what it did
It wrote you like a promise that was never meant to hide
You are mapped, you are rooted, you are real
And everything you carry — it was always yours to feel
