The doctor closed the doorway and the world fell into hush Your breathing like a whisper in a room afraid to touch I sat there in the silence with the truth I never said And every unspoken memory circled quietly your bed I thought we'd have the time To fix the things we broke When the room went quiet I finally heard my heartbeat Every word I should have told you Came rushing back too late When the room went quiet I felt the weight of all our distance The truth I kept in shadows Now standing at your gate Your fingers twitched so lightly like you tried to reach my name And I would give a lifetime just to hear you breathe again I held your hand so gently, wishing time would stay a while But endings never bargain, and regrets don’t reconcile I thought you always knew Everything I failed to say When the room went quiet I finally heard my heartbeat Every word I should have told you Came rushing back too late When the room went quiet I felt the weight of all our distance The truth I kept in shadows Now standing at your gate If I could speak one sentence To the moment slipping through I'd tell you that I loved you More than I ever dared to prove When the room went quiet I learned the cost of waiting And the ache of too much silence In a love that needed light When the room went quiet I’d give the world to hold you And speak the words I buried Before you closed your eyes
