I trace your name in the dust on the glass Try to let go, but the echoes last Every word I didn't say Still finds its way back to yesterday You looked at me like I was already gone I stayed quiet, tried to play it strong But silence cuts deeper than lies And I'm still bleeding on the inside I almost said I needed you But the fear spoke louder than truth Now the space between's too wide to cross And I'm stuck holding what we lost I didn't fight, I didn't stay Just let it all slip away And now the weight won't leave my chest You were the words I never confessed Your shadow moves through my every day In the quiet moments I lost my way Tried to replace you with noise and light But nothing ever really felt right I built walls thinking I'd feel safe But now I'm just cold in my own escape Thought time would heal what I ignored But I only feel it more I almost said I needed you But the fear spoke louder than truth Now the space between's too wide to cross And I'm stuck holding what we lost I didn't fight, I didn't stay Just let it all slip away And now the weight won't leave my chest You were the words I never confessed Maybe I waited too long to change Now everything feels out of range I should've broken before I bent Now I drown in what I never meant I almost said I needed you But the fear spoke louder than truth Now I live with what I let decay And watch the light just fade away I didn't fight, I didn't stay Just let it all slip away And now the silence screams the rest You were the words I never confessed
