Don't let the silence write the end | First Line Defense

[Intro] A hallway hums beneath the door, Two shadows stop where they stood before. Dust on the frame, your hand on the glass, Neither one knows how to make it last. [Verse 1] We used to leave the kitchen light on, Two cups cooling before the dawn. Then one small street became two roads, Your footsteps faded under heavy loads. I took the stairs, you took the train, Same city burning through different rain. A red light blinked at the end of the lane, I kept driving past your name. [Pre-Chorus] Now the road has nowhere left to bend, A dead-end sign where the asphalt ends. I turn the wheel, the tires scrape, But every way back looks the same. [Chorus] How did we get this far apart? Hands still reaching through the dark. If there's a door beneath the dust, Tell me what we have to rebuild first. Don't let the silence write the end, Don't let the same road break again. If we turn around, if we turn around, Will there be anything left to find? [Break] [Verse 2] Months pass like numbers on a wall, A name erased beneath the call. We meet beneath fluorescent rain, You say "hello," I say your name. The coffee machine spits out steam, Your eyes stay fixed on the street. There are a thousand things to say, But every word arrives too late. [Bridge] Maybe the fault was not one night, Not one door, not one goodbye. A thousand inches, day by day, Until the distance had a shape. If I could hold the moment still, Before the road climbed up that hill, Would you take my hand again, Or would we make the same mistake? [Final Chorus] How did we get this far apart? Hands still reaching through the dark. If there's a door beneath the dust, Tell me what we have to rebuild first. Don't let the silence write the end, Don't let the same road break again. If we turn around, if we turn around, Will there be anything left to find? [Outro] The road is quiet now, The engine cooling down. I turn around slowly, And wait for you.
