We used to share the small things Like the weather on our street Now the days go by in silence With no messages to read I still picture you and night Sitting with your cup of tea Not because I wanna go back Just a fading memory I'm not asking for the past To reappear But I miss the way We used to feel near There are echoes in the quiet Where your laughter used to live Not a fight, not a promise Just the emptiness that sticks We're not strangers We're not us And I'm learning to admit There are echoes in the quiet And I don't know what to do with it I walk by familiar places They still spell your name in lights But the letters feel much softer Than they did on those old nights I don't carry any questions That would make you close the door Just a wondering if you ever Trace my shadow like before I'm not wishing for a second chance to try But I miss the ease of you being mine There are echoes in the quiet We're all left to used to live Not a fight not a promise Just the emptiness that sticks We're not strangers, but we're not us And I'm learning to admit There are echoes in our quiet And I don't know what to do with it Maybe loving doesn't end It just changes how it speaks Yours is now a softer whisper Only heard on certain weeks There are echoes in our quiet And they call me now and then Not to pull me back toward you But remind me where I've been, we're not strangers Only distanced in a way we can't rewrite There are echoes in our quiet As we move into new lives
