The deafening 
[Verse 1 – soft, quiet, almost spoken] The silence of no contact is deafening I’m holding everything inside Like trying to stop a storm With nothing but my bare hands If you somehow find this out there I need you to know the truth What it’s like on this side Of the distance I asked for [Pre-Chorus – restrained, heavy] Losing you feels like the ground Just dropped out from under me You weren’t just part of my life You were the part that made sense [Chorus – soft but aching] I miss you more than I can say I miss us more than I can hold I’m the one who asked for space But I don’t want space at all Every little moment still sits heavy The quiet talks, the shared days The way the world felt like home Just because you were in it [Verse 2 – soft, tired] Walking through the days feels like haze Every reminder is sharp and loud I keep telling myself to stay strong But strength doesn’t feel like this It takes everything I have Not to reach out in the middle of the night Even though I’m the one who said I needed time to breathe [Pre-Chorus – quieter] Losing you feels like the ground Just dropped out from under me You weren’t just part of my life You were the part that made sense [Chorus – same weight] I miss you more than I can say I miss us more than I can hold I’m the one who asked for space But I don’t want space at all Every little moment still sits heavy The quiet talks, the shared days The way the world felt like home Just because you were in it [Bridge – soft at first, rising] If you ever read this I hope you know My heart didn’t just walk away You meant everything then You still mean everything now I just hope you’re okay out there And if you’re wondering Whether I want you to text me… [Yelled Section – sudden cracking strained yell] THE ANSWER IS ALWAYS YES THE ANSWER IS ALWAYS YES I MISS YOU SO FUCKING MUCH I DON’T WANT THIS SPACE I NEVER WANTED THIS SPACE PLEASE JUST SAY SOMETHING [Chorus – soft again, exhausted] I miss you more than I can say I miss us more than I can hold I’m the one who asked for space But I don’t want space at all Every little moment still sits heavy The quiet talks, the shared days The way the world felt like home Just because you were in it [Outro – very soft, almost whispered] Just like my love for you The answer is always Yes
