Where the Silence Lives

“Where the Silence Lives” I learned your name In the quiet between chords Where the room still breathes And the night leans in Your shadow stayed Long after you were gone Like a melody That won’t let me sleep I trace the cracks In every memory Trying to find Where we broke Chorus I loved you In the spaces you never filled In the words you almost said And the ones you killed I held on When the truth was too hard to give Now I’m learning how to breathe Where the silence lives I played it back Every choice, every sound All the moments I didn’t speak You looked at me Like you were already leaving And I stayed still Like I couldn’t feel I gave you time You gave me doubt We both knew How this would end Chorus I loved you In the spaces you never filled In the words you almost said And the ones you killed I held on When the truth was too hard to give Now I’m learning how to breathe Where the silence lives If I let you go Do I lose myself? If I close this door Does the echo help? I don’t need forever I just need to know Was I real to you Or just passing through? Final Chorus I loved you Even when it hurt to stay Even when your heart Looked the other way I let go Of the life I tried to give Now I’m standing in the truth Where the silence lives
