Silence Knows My Name (Acoustic)

[Intro]
There’s a quiet here  
That never leaves  

[Verse 1]
I don’t turn the TV on  
Don’t fill the space with noise  
I got used to hearing nothing  
More than hearing voices  

Every corner of this room  
Knows the way I stay  
Same chair, same window  
Watching time just fade  

[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t say it out loud  
But it’s all around  

[Chorus]
Silence knows my name  
Better than anyone  
It stays when they leave  
It don’t come undone  

Silence knows my name  
Every side of me  
The parts I don’t show  
The things I don’t speak  

[Verse 2]
I don’t check my phone as much  
Don’t wait for it to light  
I stopped expecting something  
That never came at night  

Even when I try to sleep  
It’s there inside my head  
Not loud, not heavy  
Just something that never left  

[Pre-Chorus]
It don’t ask for anything  
But it stays with me  

[Chorus]
Silence knows my name  
Better than anyone  
It stays when they leave  
It don’t come undone  

Silence knows my name  
Every side of me  
The parts I don’t show  
The things I don’t speak  

[Bridge]
If I walked away from it  
Would it follow still?  
Or is it just the only thing  
That knows me for real  

[Final Chorus]
Silence knows my name  
And it don’t pretend  
It don’t come and go  
It just never ends  

Silence knows my name  
And I let it stay  
‘Cause it’s been here longer  
Than anyone anyway  

[Outro]
There’s a quiet here  
That feels like me
