What the Silence Said

Verse 1 We sat there with the TV on Blue light flicker till the night was gone Two cups cold on the table side Both of us with nowhere to hide You said nothing, I did too Funny how quiet can tell the truth Louder than the words we planned Hanging heavy in the room Pre-Chorus It don’t shout, it don’t plead But it shows you what you need Chorus What the silence said Was harder than a lie It drew a line across the bed We never tried to cross No fight, no slammed door Just space where love had been Yeah, we heard it clear as day What the silence said Verse 2 I kept waiting for a spark Some small sign in the dark But the air was thin and still Like something already killed You traced circles on your hand Like you didn’t understand How two people standing close Can feel so far apart Pre-Chorus It don’t curse, it don’t accuse It just shows you what you lose Chorus What the silence said Was we were letting go Not with anger, not with blame Just too tired to hold No villain, no defense No wound that bled Just the space between our breaths And what the silence said Bridge Maybe love don’t always break Maybe sometimes it just fades No crash, no falling glass Just a quiet that lasts Half-Chorus (stripped) What the silence said Was we already knew Final Chorus What the silence said Was simple and unkind We were staying out of habit Not from heart or mind No tears left to shed No more words to spend Just the truth we never spoke In what the silence said Outro The TV still glows blue But there’s only one chair moved Some things end unsaid But you still hear what the silence said
