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
