Whisper in the Blue Glow

**(Verse 1)** This quiet used to be comfortable, a blanket in this room But you just had to break it for a message from *him*, and it sealed my doom A little chime, a little glow, a flicker on your face And suddenly, my whole world's gone without a single trace... **(Chorus)** You say he's just a "friend," a harmless, simple word But it's the sharpest, coldest sound I've ever heard You already told me what your heart keeps locked inside But you still cross that line, with nowhere left to hide. **(Verse 2)** I see you see me flinchin', you know you're diggin' deep But you find another reason, a promise you can't keep An "I forgot to tell him," or "He just needed to know" And with every single excuse, you just let the cut grow... **(Chorus)** You say he's just a "friend," a harmless, simple word But it's the sharpest, coldest sound I've ever heard You already told me what your heart keeps locked inside But you still cross that line, with nowhere left to hide. **(Bridge)** I used to burn with anger, a hot and righteous fire... Now I'm just sittin' here, in the ashes of a burnt-out pyre. It ain't the words upon that little lit-up screen It's that you see my heartbreak... and stay right in between. **(Outro / Final Chorus)** And you know what?... I'm fine. If his words are the light that makes your world less gray... Then I will learn to live within the shadow every day. If his friendship is the comfort that you feel you need... Then I'll learn to quiet my own heart... and bleed. I will learn to share you... a piece I never chose... And hide the constant tremor that nobody else knows. So go on, have your happiness, whatever it may be... My love for you is greater... than the hurt you've given me.
