We used to talk until the morning light
Now I just listen to the quiet night
Your coffee cup still by the window pane
But the warmth you left won’t come again
(Pre-Chorus)
I said I’d be fine, I swore I’d be strong
But I still check my phone like you’ll prove me wrong
(Chorus)
You only feel the weight when the arms let go
Only miss the fire when you’re in the snow
Only hear the truth when the lies decay
Only feel the loss when you walk away
I thought the ache would fade
But it grew when the silence stayed
(Verse 2)
I pass the place where we first met
Still hear your laugh, can’t forget
The echoes haunt this hollow town
Where every street just pulls me down
(Pre-Chorus)
I told my friends I’d moved along
But I play our song when I’m alone
(Chorus)
You only feel the weight when the arms let go
Only miss the fire when you’re in the snow
Only hear the truth when the lies decay
Only feel the loss when you walk away
I thought the ache would fade
But it grew when the silence stayed
(Bridge)
I built a life where you don’t exist
But every wall’s a photograph I miss
They say time heals—but time just hides
The tears I’ve buried deep inside
(Final Chorus)
You only feel the weight when the arms let go
Only miss the fire when you’re in the snow
Only chase the past when the light grows dim
Only bleed in places no one’s been
I thought the ache would fade
But it stayed… when the silence stayed
