The Day the Sky Went Quiet

The morning came, but it felt like night,

The sun was out, but it lost its light.

I reached for the phone like I always do,

But the line stayed still, there was no you.

Your sweater’s still hanging on the back of the chair,

Your voice in the air, like you’re still there.

I try to smile, but it cracks in two,

‘Cause every piece of me was tied to you.

And I keep talking like you’ll walk through the door,

But the truth is, I won’t hear your laugh anymore.

The day the sky went quiet,

The colors all ran dry.

I’m living in the echo

Of a single last goodbye.

The world keeps spinning faster,

But I’m frozen where I stand,

Trying to hold on

To the memory of your hand.

The couch still dips where you used to sit,

Your book on the table, the last page you quit.

I trace your name in the dust by the frame,

Like if I write it enough, it’ll call your name.

The songs you loved don’t sound the same,

They play like ghosts that I can’t tame.

And every laugh feels a little less real,

Without you here to make me feel.

And I keep talking like you’ll walk through the door,

But the truth is, I won’t hear your laugh anymore.

The day the sky went quiet,

The colors all ran dry.

I’m living in the echo

Of a single last goodbye.

The world keeps spinning faster,

But I’m frozen where I stand,

Trying to hold on

To the memory of your hand.

(Soft)

I’d give every sunrise, every tomorrow,

Just to steal you back from this hollow.

(Explosive)

I’m shouting at the stars like they owe me a sign,

But the silence just answers, every single time.

The day the sky went quiet,

The colors all ran dry.

I’m living in the echo

Of a single last goodbye.

The world keeps spinning faster,

But I’m frozen where I stand,

Trying to hold on

To the memory of your hand.

“Yeah… the day the sky went quiet…

I never said goodbye.”
