Was It Quiet For You

WAS IT QUIET FOR YOU?

[Intro | Atmospheric synths, distant piano]

(Instrumental)

[Verse 1 | Soft, intimate vocals]

At eight-oh-six, your message came,
I read it twice beside the sink.
You said, "I miss the kitchen too,
But you don't know what it cost me."

I stared at what I almost typed,
And put the phone down on the tile.
Then typed, "I didn't see you hurt.
I'd like to listen, if you want."

[Pre-Chorus | Gradual melodic build]

Outside, the buses came and went,
I stayed where I could hear the rain.
You wrote, "Can we meet after work?"
I said, "At nine. I'll meet you there."

[Chorus | Explosive, soaring melody]

Was it quiet for you that night?
When I was sleeping by your side?
I thought your silence meant we're fine,
While you were running out of time.

I called it peace, you called it work,
You kept me warm while you got hurt.
Was it quiet for you that night?
Or did you keep it all inside?

[Drop | Euphoric melodic synths, sustained vocal]

Was it quiet for you?

(Instrumental)

[Verse 2 | More urgency, restrained emotion]

You had your hair up like before,
But kept your coat on by the door.
I asked you how the last month went,
You laughed and said, "You're asking now?"

You told me how you'd come home drained,
And smile so I could fall asleep.
I almost tried to justify,
Then asked you what you needed now.

[Pre-Chorus 2 | Rising emotional tension]

You said, "I need you to be here,
Not only when you need me near."
I said, "You shouldn't have to ask."
You set your keys beside your glass.

[Final Chorus | Full instrumentation, powerful lead vocal]

Was it quiet for you that night?
When I was sleeping by your side?
I can't undo the words you saved,
Or give you back the sleep you gave.

I used to call your arms my home,
But home can't be for me alone.
There's no promise you need to make,
I'll hear you, whatever you say.

[Final Drop | Emotional instrumental release]

Was it quiet for you?

I wanna hear you...

[Outro | Piano and fading synths]

You asked me if I'd walk you home.
"No promises," you said, then smiled.
We took the long way in the rain,
And talked until the traffic died.
