The Silence Is You

I gave you my forever,

you threw it all away.

I was fighting for tomorrow,

you were running from today.

All those promises you made me

cut like glass against my skin—

I believed in every word,

but you were never letting me in.

I kept begging you to stay,

but you were already gone.

Now I’m screaming at the walls,

trying to find where I belong.

How do I breathe when the air was you?

How do I heal when the pain’s still new?

You broke me wide open,

left me shattered, it’s true.

I’m drowning in the silence…

and the silence is you.

I was strong until you broke me,

now I’m crawling through the dark.

Every memory’s a weapon,

every kiss a question mark.

I still hear your voice inside me,

but it’s poison in my veins.

You left me with the pieces,

and the pieces scream your name.

I tried to hold the line,

but you cut it right in two.

Now I’m standing in the wreckage,

and all I see is you.

How do I breathe when the air was you?

How do I heal when the pain’s still new?

You tore down the walls,

and there’s nothing to prove.

I’m drowning in the silence…

and the silence is you.

I don’t want your ghost—

I don’t want your lies!

I don’t want the ashes

of the fire in your eyes.

You said “always,”

but always fell through…

Now I’m stronger in the silence,

but the silence is you.

How do I breathe when the air was you?

How do I heal when the pain’s still new?

You broke me wide open,

left me broken, it’s true.

I’m screaming in the silence…

and the silence—

the silence is you.
