[Intro – piano + faint cello] [Verse 1] The door still trembling in the frame Your words still hanging in the air Every sentence left a mark But neither one of us was there Broken glass across the floor Like the truth we tried to hide Every echo of your voice Still moving slowly through my mind (cello fades away) [Verse 2 – piano only] Now the silence fills the room Where the shouting used to live Every word we threw like stones Left nothing left to give Your reflection in the glass Still staring back at me Like a stranger passing through The place we used to be [Chorus – piano only] This is the quiet after When every word is gone When all the fire is fading And nothing still feels strong This is the quiet after The moment truth appears Where all the lies fall silent And drown beneath the tears [Bridge – piano slowing] Maybe love was just a flame Burning through a fragile name Maybe every shattered lie Was just another last goodbye [Final Chorus – very soft] This is the quiet after Where every shadow falls Where every lie you whispered Still echoes through these walls This is the quiet after Where nothing feels the same Just silence in the darkness And ashes of your name [Outro – piano fading] The room finally still Just the quiet after.
