Left in the Silence

[Intro] [Verse 1] The clock ticks slow on a dusty shelf, Your shadow’s gone, I’m talkin’ to myself. The coffee’s cold in that cracked old mug, Just echoes now where we used to hug. [Chorus] Left in the silence, a love turned to rust, Empty words scattered in the backroad dust. The phone don’t ring, and the porch light’s dim, Just a hollow tune where your voice had been. [Verse 2] I found that shirt you left behind, It smells like rain and a goodbye night. The radio plays our “forever” song, But forever’s short when you’re movin’ on. [Chorus] Left in the silence, a love turned to rust, Empty words scattered in the backroad dust. The phone don’t ring, and the porch light’s dim, Just a hollow tune where your voice had been. [Bridge] I drive past the diner where we’d say “always,” Now it’s just gravel and a broken phrase. The stars still shine, but they don’t feel right, ‘Cause you stole the moon when you left that night. [Chorus] Left in the silence, a love turned to rust, Empty words scattered in the backroad dust. The phone don’t ring, and the porch light’s dim, Just a hollow tune where your voice had been. [Outro]
