I saw it in your face Before you said a word The room went very still And I heard what wasn’t heard Your laugh was out of reach Your hand was half-way gone I held the shape of us Like something almost warm And I kept making reasons For what my heart already knew But truth can wear a small disguise Then split the whole world in two Those little signs They told me it was over Those little signs Were breaking me in slow motion I read the line That you were trying not to say Those little signs Led me to the end of us that day You stopped asking how I slept You answered with your eyes There was a far-off place in you That I could not revive The silence in your pauses Was louder than before It sat between my hands and yours Then walked right out the door And I kept making reasons For the cold inside your touch But love can turn a little blind When it is holding on too much Those little signs They told me it was over Those little signs Were breaking me in slow motion I read the line That you were trying not to say Those little signs Led me to the end of us that day I wanted one more minute One clean and honest look But the truth was in the margins Of everything you took So I stood there in the quiet And finally let it land Some endings do not shout at all They just slip out of your hand Those little signs They told me it was over Those little signs Were breaking me in slow motion I read the line That you were trying not to say Those little signs Led me to the end of us that day Those little signs I can still see them shining Those little signs On the day my heart stopped lying I read the line And I let you go at last Those little signs Were the first and final truth at last
