We talk about the weather
Like it matters anymore
We fill the space with something
So we don't touch what hurts

We laugh at all the right times
Say we're tired, say we're fine
But there's a distance growing
That we never cross the line

There's a thousand words between us
But we choose the safest ones

Some truths are too heavy
To survive once they're spoken

It's the things we don't say
That stay the longest
Every truth we delay
Becomes a moment
We keep talking around it
Like silence will make it go away
But it's the things we don't say
That slowly change us

I almost told you last night
But the timing felt wrong
So I swallowed every sentence
And let the moment move on

You look at me like you know
That something's slipping through
But we both pretend it's nothing
Like we always do

We're careful not to break it
But careful breaks us too

Some love doesn't end with goodbye
It fades between the words we lose

It's the things we don't say
That stay the longest
Every truth we delay
Becomes a moment
We keep talking around it
Like silence will make it go away
But it's the things we don't say
That slowly change us

I don't know how to say it
Without losing what we are
So I stay quiet
And feel us drift apart

It's the things we don't say
That echo loudest
Every word we don't break
Still surrounds us
If love ever leaves us
It won't slam the door and run away
It'll be the things we don't say
That taught it how to fade
