[INTRO - 20 sec, Instrumental Only] [No Vocal] [No Lyrics] [First Breath] ...haa... mm... [VERSE 1 - Close, Conversational] You left your coffee by the window I watched the daylight change We had a hundred ways to say it But silence felt the same Your fingers almost touched mine Then moved into the dark Funny how the smallest distance Leaves the deepest mark mm... ah... I know, I know Too late to make it simple [PRE-CHORUS - Syncopated] I kept it Under my tongue One little truth I couldn't become You knew it Maybe you did mm-mm... Maybe that's why you left [CHORUS - Layered, Restrained] All the words I never said Still running circles in my head Every almost, every breath Every little second that we left I don't need you back tonight I just need the memory right All the words I never said mm-mm... They sound louder now [POST-CHORUS - Rhythmic Vocal] mm-mm / ah ha-mm / ha Too close Too late mm... Too real to erase [VERSE 2 - More Rhythmic] Your shadow stayed across the hallway Long after you were gone I turned the music up to cover What the quiet carried on No dramatic ending No beautiful goodbye Just the elevator closing And me pretending I was fine nn... mm... I know, I know That's how we disappear [PRE-CHORUS 2] I kept it Behind my teeth One little truth Still breathing underneath You felt it Maybe you did ah-mm... Maybe that's why you left [INSTRUMENTAL BREAK] [No Lyrics] [Keep 94 BPM] [Fragmented Vocal Breaths] ...haa... mm... [BRIDGE - Broken Rhythm] If I said stay Would you stay? If I said wait Would it change? mm-mm / ah No answer No answer If I touched your hand One second longer Would the silence Still be stronger? [BUILD - Layered Vocal Pulse] stay / mm wait / ah say it / mm-mm say it / ah Too late Too close Too much Not enough [FINAL CHORUS - Dense Layered Harmony] All the words I never said Still running circles in my head Every almost, every breath Every little second that we left I don't need you back tonight I don't need to make it right All the words I never said Keep getting louder Louder... [Counter Vocal] mm-mm-mm / ah Never said it nn-mm / ah Never said it ha-mm-ha / mm Still inside me [BREAKDOWN - Sudden Drop] ...haa... [OUTRO - Close Vocal] Maybe silence wasn't empty Maybe silence was the truth mm... I just never said it to you [Final Breath] ...haa... [Silence]
