We had a thousand quiet nights
Filled with everything I couldn’t write
Words stuck in the back of my throat
Now they’re just ghosts I never showed
Your side of the bed’s still a war zone
I reach, but all I touch is cold
I rehearsed the truth a hundred times
But silence always won the fight
I watched you slip through my hands
Like water I couldn’t understand
Now I talk to the ceiling
Like it knows how I’m feeling
Unspoken words are all I have
Echoes in a room that once knew laughs
I hold my breath, but you’re not here
Just memories whispering in my ear
If love could speak, it’d beg you to stay
But I let you walk away…
With everything I couldn’t say
I play your song, then turn it off
The melody just hurts too much
Your name still lives on my tongue
But I say it like I’ve come undone
I write you letters I don’t send
Ink bleeds but never makes amends
If you could read between the pain
You’d know I’d do it all again
But timing never gave us grace
We broke without a real goodbye
Now I lie to my own face
Pretending I don’t cry
Unspoken words are all I have
Echoes in a room that once knew laughs
I hold my breath, but you’re not here
Just memories whispering in my ear
If love could speak, it’d beg you to stay
But I let you walk away…
With everything I couldn’t say
Unspoken words are all I have
They haunt the halls of what we had
If love had lips, it’d call your name
But I stayed still, and now you’ve changed
I see you in the rearview rain
Still holding everything I couldn’t say
