[Verse 1] I cried oceans for you And calmed every storm inside your head I denied my own boundaries And built my world around your light instead You thought my gentleness was a free pass That my heart would just swallow and forgive But no matter how unconditional you are If you lose yourself, that's no way to live [Chorus] And now it grows quiet, can you feel the shake? I have nothing left to say, no more steps to take Sometimes silence is the loudest word spoken I won't look back, my chains are broken My gentleness was never my weakness, you see: It is my self-protection that weeps as I flee [Verse 2] I scattered chances like confetti in the air Hoping that your pride would finally bend Regretting every "I'm sorry" you didn't mean there Because your promises broke before the end A broken heart heals as time goes by It learns to beat with a brand-new light But lost trust fades into the sky And stays forever hidden in the night [Chorus] And now it grows quiet, can you feel the shake? I have nothing left to say, no more steps to take Sometimes silence is the loudest word spoken I won't look back, my chains are broken My gentleness was never my weakness, you see: It is my self-protection that weeps as I flee [Bridge] My presence was a gift to your days You took it for granted, with nothing to yield If you can't see my worth through the haze My silence is now the ultimate shield [Outro] The door falls shut. No anger, no coldness. Just the silence... that says it all.
