After the silence

Verse 1

The screen goes dark but I still stare Like you might suddenly be there We talk less now, but feel more pain Same old love, new kind of strain

Pre-Chorus

I replay words you never said Sleeping next to what's in my head

Chorus

I'm still here, but I'm changed now

Sometimes I wish we never met

We said "forever", you promised me

Now every day feels out of place

You're still mine, even though I'm not yours

Holding on to old love

Verse 2

Your voice feels farther than before Like echoes bouncing off closed doors I smiled whenever I heard your voice

Now silence is the only noise

Pre-Chorus 2

I keep your name where no one sees Some things don't leave, they just don't speak

Chorus

I'm still here, but I'm changed now

Sometimes I wish we never met

We said "forever", you promised me

Now every day feels out of place

You're still mine, even though I'm not yours

Holding on to old love

Bridge (spoken / raspy)

I waited for your footsteps

But you never called

Breakdown (spoken)

Now I don't reach out

don't pretend

I learned to love in silence

Without the end

Final Chorus

I'm still here, but I'm changed now

Sometimes I wish we never met

We said "forever", you promised me

Now every day feels out of place

You're still mine, even though I'm not yours

Holding on to old love

Outro

Every goodnight still feels the same

I say it without your name
