(Chorus)  
In my mind, I hear what you’d say,  
No blame, no regret, just drifting away.  
I picture the words you’d carefully choose,  
Each line you’d say to ease the bruise.  
And maybe I don’t need the sound,  
Just this quiet place where we both are bound.

(Verse 2)  
I know you’d tell me you felt it too,  
How we mirrored each step, every shade and hue.  
Like twins in a life we never knew,  
Connected by paths only we walked through.  
There’s nothing to fix, nothing to save,  
Just a lesson we shared, side by side, brave.  
And even if it fades, like I think it will,  
I hope you find peace in the quiet, still.

(Bridge)  
You’d probably say, “It’s time to move on,  
That nothing’s forever, and now it’s gone.”  
But I’ll keep the echo, the parts that stay,  
In this silent space, where we meet halfway.  
I can almost see the words you’d write,  
An unspoken letter, drifting into night.

(Verse 3)  
No, I don’t blame you, never did,  
I know you felt it too, just better hid.  
And if you’re thinking of me at all,  
I hope it’s as light as a whisper’s call.  
We shared the weight, split down the line,  
And somehow that’s enough, it’s fine.

(Outro)  
So here’s my goodbye, the quiet kind,  
Left unspoken, just kept in mind.  
I’ll be alright, and I hope you will too,  
In this imagined space where I still see you.

(Verse 1) I hear your voice in my head, soft but clear, Saying, “It’s time to let go, there’s nothing left here.” You’d tell me to stand tall, hold my own, Remind me I’m strong, that I’ve already grown. But I wish you’d seen it before the break, Listened to the words I tried to make. I know you don’t want to talk it through, But I’ll be okay, and I hope you’ll be too. (Chorus) In my mind, I hear what you’d say, No blame, no regret, just drifting away. I picture the words you’d carefully choose, Each line you’d say to ease the bruise. And maybe I don’t need the sound, Just this quiet place where we both are bound. (Verse 2) I know you’d tell me you felt it too, How we mirrored each step, every shade and hue. Like twins in a life we never knew, Connected by paths only we walked through. There’s nothing to fix, nothing to save, Just a lesson we shared, side by side, brave. And even if it fades, like I think it will, I hope you find peace in the quiet, still. (Chorus) In my mind, I hear what you’d say, No blame, no regret, just drifting away. I picture the words you’d carefully choose, Each line you’d say to ease the bruise. And maybe I don’t need the sound, Just this quiet place where we both are bound.
