The Weight of What You Didn’t Say (Cover) mariep

[Verse 1] Coffee gone cold on the counter Your sweater still sleeps on the chair The dog paces circles around me Like he’s looking for you in the air [Pre-Chorus] I replay the last night in the kitchen Your mouth moved but the truth looked away You dropped every word like a weapon But it’s the ones you never said That hit me today [Chorus] It’s the weight of what you didn’t say Heavy on my chest like a freight train All the quiet in your eyes Was louder than the storm that night You didn’t have to slam that door I felt you leaving long before Yeah It broke me in the strangest way The weight of what you didn’t say [Verse 2] Your side of the mattress ain’t wrinkled Drawers full of plans we won’t use I hear every creak in these floorboards Like they’re spelling out “me” and “you” [Pre-Chorus] I begged you to tell me you were trying You smiled like a stranger at the gate You kissed me but your hands shook like goodbye I tasted every question You were too tired to face [Chorus] It’s the weight of what you didn’t say Heavy on my chest like a freight train All the quiet in your eyes Was louder than the storm that night You didn’t have to slam that door I felt you leaving long before Yeah It broke me in the strangest way The weight of what you didn’t say [Bridge] [Choir swells under low male lead] All those “I’m fine”s All those “maybe next time”s Every shrug Every sigh Was another goodbye Goodbye [Chorus] It’s the weight of what you didn’t say Crashing through my bones like a tidal wave All the quiet in your eyes Still echoes through this house tonight You didn’t have to turn and run The silence said the deed was done Yeah It kills me that we slipped away On the weight of what you didn’t say
