[Verse 1] You wore your heartbreak like a leather coat I carried mine in postcards I never wrote You lit fires with other names While I stayed quiet, burned in vain [Pre-Chorus] Now you're ringing like an old love song In the middle of a night too long But I’ve outgrown those chords and keys This ain’t the past, and you’re not what I need [Chorus] Now you know how silence stings How it haunts when the telephone rings You want the truth, but it’s dressed in smoke I was yours before you spoke Too far gone, too worn through You’re just a ghost in worn-out shoes Now you know, now you feel What I buried to heal [Verse 2] You found me somewhere between then and now In a dive bar kiss and a midnight vow You said you missed who I used to be But darling, he don’t live in me [Pre-Chorus] You talk like hope, but you move like doubt You’re chasing lights I’ve long burned out I danced alone while you looked past But I don't bend like I did back [Chorus] Now you know how silence stings How it cuts when the memory clings You want love, but you’re out of time I’ve made peace with that goodbye Too far gone, too worn through You’re just a verse I outgrew Now you know, now you feel What I buried to heal [Bridge – stripped down, almost spoken] You had your shot on the fourth of June Under backyard stars and a blood-red moon You looked away when I leaned in Now you want back what’s wearing thin [Final Chorus – full band, gritty crescendo] Now you know how silence stays In old playlists and bitter days You want love, but I want light I’ve moved on, and I sleep at night Too far gone, too worn through I can’t unwrite what I lived through Now you know, now you feel That some wounds don’t deal
