Please check out my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@firstep3 You don’t slam doors, you just let 'em close, And what's on your mind, nobody knows. You’re here in the room but you’re miles away, Starin’ out the window like you might not stay. I ask what’s wrong, you just shake your head, But I feel every word you’ve left unsaid. I’d rather see the tears you need to cry, Than have to sit here wonderin' why. Your silence says more than your lips allow, Like you’re braced for something, here and now. Every breath you take feels like a scream, Caught inside some kinda broken dream. Girl, if you're hurtin', please make a sound, Don't be a ghost just hangin' around. Wish you'd remember I'm always near, Because your silence is all I hear. You’ve held your breath for hours on end, Like you’re scared to break or just give in. You used to tell me 'bout all your fears, Now all I get are these quiet tears. I miss the nights when you'd laugh and sing, Now it’s silence without anything. I’ll take all the pain if it sets you free, Don’t be afraid, darlin', it's just me. Your silence says more than your lips allow, Like you’re braced for something, here and now. Every breath you take feels like a scream, Caught inside some kinda broken dream. Girl, if you're hurtin', please make a sound, Don't be a ghost just hangin' around. Wish you'd remember I'm always near, Because your silence is all I hear. I’m not askin’ for you to pretend, I just need the truth to help us mend. If it’s me, if I failed you somehow, Don’t shut me out, girl, please, not now. We haven’t fought, no lines were crossed, But still I feel like somethin’s lost. You don’t have to shout or cry out loud, I can’t reach your heart behind that shroud. Your silence says more than your lips allow, Like you’re braced for something, here and now. Every breath you take feels like a scream, Caught inside some kinda broken dream. Girl, if you're hurtin', please make a sound, Don't be a ghost just hangin' around. Wish you'd remember I'm always near, Because your silence is all I hear.
