[Verse 1] You said my name like a promise Then left it on the floor I saw your smile in the window But I knew what it was for Your hands were clean in the morning Your shadow told the truth You wore the same old mercy That you used to cut me loose [Pre-Chorus] And I kept listening For a softer kind of pain But you came in heavy Like a train inside my veins [Chorus] Your betrayal was louder Louder than words Louder than words It hit like a siren Right through my nerves Right through my nerves Now I hear it in the silence I hear it when you breathe Your betrayal was louder Louder than words to me [Verse 2] You left a cracked cup by the sink Your key still on the tray I could smell the cold metal On the lie you tried to save You said it was an accident A slip, a little bruise But every room remembered How you chose to lose [Pre-Chorus] And I kept listening For a softer kind of pain But you came in heavy Like a train inside my veins [Chorus] Your betrayal was louder Louder than words Louder than words It hit like a siren Right through my nerves Right through my nerves Now I hear it in the silence I hear it when you breathe Your betrayal was louder Louder than words to me [Bridge] Don’t ask me for a soft goodbye Don’t dress it up in gold You left a bruise on my whole life And called it getting old I won’t wear your version I won’t bite my tongue What you did had an echo And it’s still not done [Chorus] Your betrayal was louder Louder than words Louder than words It hit like a siren Right through my nerves Right through my nerves Now I hear it in the silence I hear it when you breathe Your betrayal was louder Louder than words to me
