We used to talk until the morning came
Now I can't remember what we said
Every word we left unsaid
Echoes louder than the fights we had instead
I still see your coffee cup on the shelf
A ghost of mornings we once kept for ourselves
You were next to me, but miles away
And I never found the words to make you stay

The quiet grew like a shadow inside
We let the love fade without goodbye
No storm, no scream, no broken vow
Just silence between us now

And the silence is all that's left
Where your voice used to rest
Every breath I take reminds me how
You're gone without a sound
No final fight, no shattered truth
Just the quiet where I once had you
I'd give it all to hear you say my name
Just once more through the silence we became

I still drive past that same old place
The diner where you used to hide your face
We'd laugh at nothing, talk for hours
Now those walls can't hold our flowers
You said love needs more than just being near
But I was too proud, too blind to hear
I thought silence meant peace of mind
But it was the sound of love left behind

Now every song sounds like your goodbye
Every echo's just a lullaby
The quiet is heavier than before
You're not here, but I still wait by the door

And the silence is all that's left
Where your voice used to rest
Every breath I take reminds me how
You're gone without a sound
No final fight, no shattered truth
Just the quiet where I once had you
I'd give it all to hear you say my name
Just once more through the silence we became

If love could scream through walls
You'd hear me breaking down them all
If words could heal the cracks we made
I'd shout every truth I was too scared to say
But now your shadow fades with dawn
The echo's here, but you're long gone
I'm learning pain doesn't always shout
Sometimes it's quiet and that's what drowns you out

And the silence is all that's left
Where our hearts once met
Every breath I take is chasing sound
In a world that's breaking down
No goodbyes, no bitter proof
Just the quiet that remembers you
If I could turn the noise back on, somehow
I'd fill the world with you and not this silence now

Just this silence
Between us now
