Quiet nods, unspoken thoughts The battles that I never fought Thought I gave you what you need By letting your choices lead Every time I stepped aside Something in me slowly died The weight of words I never said Left both our hearts hanging by a thread Now I see what we became Two strangers playing the same game My silence wasn't love at all Just fear of what might befall I disappeared into the quiet Thought that's what you wanted Drowning in the peace I created While you felt alone, disenchanted My surrender built these walls between Everything we could have been Your eyes searched for the man Who once stood and took a stand You wanted truth, not hollow agreement A real connection, not appeasement I lost myself in trying to please Both of us fell to our knees Now I see what we became Two people lost in the same frame My silence wasn't love at all Just fear I couldn't bear to recall I disappeared into the quiet Thought that's what you wanted Drowning in the peace I created While you felt alone, disenchanted My surrender built these walls between Everything we could have been In the shadows of what could be said I left so many truths for dead You never asked for perfect harmony Just honesty in this symphony Wish I'd known that sooner Before the winter turned much colder I disappeared into the quiet Thought that's what you wanted Drowning in the peace I created While you felt alone, disenchanted Now I see the damage done By battles I never begun The stillness speaks volumes now About the words I disavowed In the quiet aftermath I finally see our broken path
