V6

[Verse 1] We used to talk till the coffee went cold Now we sit in rooms and let the silence hold I don't know when the words started to fade Just one more night where nothing much was said [Verse 2] You'd ask me "how was work" and I'd just say "fine" Both of us knew we were running out of time But comfort's a habit, and habits don't break So we stayed inside a house we couldn't shake [Pre-Chorus] No one raised their voice No one slammed a door We just stopped choosing What we chose before [Chorus] It's the things we never said That built these walls instead No fight, no blame, no scene Just years of in-between We didn't burn it down We just let it go quiet Two hearts that lost the sound Of ever trying [Verse 3] I'd watch you sleeping like a stranger's face Wondering where we lost our common place Not hate, not love — just a slow retreat Two people breathing in the same defeat [Bridge] Maybe if I'd said it once Maybe if you'd stayed and fought Maybe silence was the loudest Thing we ever bought [Final Chorus] It's the things we never said That built these walls instead No fight, no blame, no scene Just years of in-between We didn't burn it down We just let it go quiet And now I'm standing here alone In everything we never tried [Outro] The things we never said... The things we never said...
