[Verse 1] I gave the room a little distance Left the questions where they lay Thought maybe you would cross it If I stopped leading the way I didn’t ask you what was wrong Or reach across the bed I waited for you to say something But you turned away instead [Pre-Chorus] I used to think the quiet Was a problem I could solve Now I’m starting to believe It says more than words at all [Chorus] The silence answers When you don’t It tells me everything Your lips won’t You never said you’d stopped choosing me You never said we’re through But every night you leave untouched Says what you cannot do I kept waiting for the truth Like it needed words to matter But when I ask where your heart has gone The silence answers [Verse 2] You say, “There’s nothing happening” I say, “That’s what hurts the most” We still share the same four walls But I’m living with a ghost There’s no slammed door between us No suitcase in the hall Just a thousand little absences That feel louder than them all [Pre-Chorus] I used to fill the empty With excuses for us both But love shouldn’t need translating Every time it doesn’t show [Chorus] The silence answers When you don’t It tells me everything Your lips won’t You never said you’d stopped choosing me You never said we’re through But every night you leave untouched Says what you cannot do I kept waiting for the truth Like it needed words to matter But when I ask where your heart has gone The silence answers [Bridge] Maybe you don’t want to hurt me Maybe you don’t know what to say Maybe staying feels much kinder Than admitting you’ve changed But mercy without honesty Still leaves a deeper scar I’d rather hear the words that break me Than keep guessing where we are So tell me that you’re trying Tell me there’s something left Or let the quiet finish What neither of us has said [Breakdown] I won’t ask another question Just to watch you look away I won’t turn your lack of leaving Into a reason I should stay [Final Chorus] The silence answered When you couldn’t I heard the truth Because you wouldn’t You never said you’d stopped choosing me But you never chose me too And every night I waited here Made that harder to undo I kept hoping love was hidden Under all this fear and sadness But when I asked if you still wanted us The silence answered [Outro] You ask me why I’ve gone so quiet I say, “The truth is clear” The silence answered everything I was too afraid to hear
