We Broke in the Quiet

[Her – Verse 1] No screaming, no thunder, just a whisper at the end, You stared at your coffee like you’d lost a friend. I kept holding words like they still had weight, But the silence between us had already chosen our fate. [Him – Verse 1] I felt you slip hours before you said a word, In the way your hands trembled, but your voice never stirred. I wanted to fight, but I couldn't breathe, So I watched you drift like a leaf on a breeze. [Both – Pre-Chorus] We didn’t fall — we faded slow, Like snow that melts and doesn’t show... [Both – Chorus] We broke in the quiet, not in the fight, No storm, no fire, just the absence of light. You let go without letting me see, That the end had been waiting — silently. I reached for you with words I never said, But love can’t live where it’s already dead. [Him – Verse 2] I counted your footsteps down the hallway floor, Each one a goodbye I couldn’t ignore. You left your key on the table by chance, Like a scene rehearsed — not a final dance. [Her – Verse 2] You didn’t chase me, didn’t call my name, Maybe that hurt worse than if you'd taken the blame. I kept waiting for anything — a cry, a plea... But we both knew this wasn't meant to be. [Both – Pre-Chorus] No final kiss, no bitter plea, Just silence folding over me...
