Verse 1 We used to talk until the sky turned into morning, Now every word feels like a warning you don’t want to give. You only reach out when the world is burning around you, And I pick up, even though I know it’s not me you’re trying to save. Pre‑Chorus I keep pretending the silence isn’t heavy, But it sits between us like a truth we’re scared to name. Chorus This is what we lost in the quiet — Not the shouting, not the storms, but the space where love used to live. You shut the door without slamming it, And somehow that hurt worse than anything loud. We didn’t break all at once, We just faded into the quiet. Verse 2 You told me “leave me alone,” and I swallowed every answer, Didn’t want to push you deeper into whatever darkness you’re chasing. I still care — God, I still care — But caring feels like trespassing on a life I’m not part of anymore. Pre‑Chorus I replay the last time you looked at me like I mattered, Trying to remember who we were before the quiet took over. Chorus This is what we lost in the quiet — Not the shouting, not the storms, but the space where love used to live. You shut the door without slamming it, And somehow that hurt worse than anything loud. We didn’t break all at once, We just faded into the quiet. Bridge Maybe someday you’ll talk like you used to, Not as a ghost, not as a warning, not as someone running. But until then, I’ll keep the light on For the version of you that didn’t disappear. Final Chorus This is what we lost in the quiet — All the soft things, all the small things, all the pieces we forgot to hold. You drifted out without saying goodbye, And I’m left learning how to breathe in the silence. We didn’t break all at once, We just faded into the quiet.
