[Verse 1] I’ve had many conversations Like lanterns in my hands, But you let the flame go dim As if it’s something you can’t stand. I’m tired of being the only one Who shows up in the room, While you sit behind your quiet Like a locked and guarded tomb. [Chorus] Simple questions with no reply Just a loud silence from you Nothing special, just “How was your day?” Or maybe “Is your cat Ok?” But all I get is silence from you You don’t think I notice? You don’t think I care? It’s the respect you choose to ignore And I won’t ask you anymore [Verse 2] I’ve tried to meet you gently In the spaces where you hide, But every time I reach for you You step a little more aside. I keep offering simple moments Just hoping you might stay, But you drift like distant weather That never comes my way. [Chorus] Simple questions with no reply Just a loud silence from you Nothing special, just “How was your day?” Or maybe “Is your cat Ok?” But all I get is silence from you You don’t think I notice? You don’t think I care? It’s the respect you choose to ignore And I won’t ask you anymore [Bridge] Maybe someday you’ll see How silence leaves its scars, How small neglect can echo Louder than a thousand wars. But I’m done with chasing answers You refuse to let me see— I’m learning how to walk away. And just let it be.
