[Verse 1]
You didn’t slam the door
Didn’t raise your voice
Didn’t give me something
I could call a choice
You folded up your words
Like they were worn-out clothes
Left them on the chair
Like I’d already know
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
I kept waiting for the sound
But silence showed up first
⸻
[Chorus]
You left quiet
Like you’d been gone awhile
Like love just ran out of things
Worth fighting about
You left quiet
No blame, no scene
Just the echo of your keys
And the space where you should be
⸻
[Verse 2]
Your coffee cup still here
Lipstick on the rim
Like proof you once existed
In a life that ended thin
You said, “I’m just tired”
I heard, “I’m done”
But some goodbyes don’t warn you
They just slowly come
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
I replay every night
Looking for what I missed
⸻
[Chorus]
You left quiet
Didn’t even cry
Like loving me was something
You’d already survived
You left quiet
Soft as regret
Like you didn’t want to hurt me
But didn’t want to stay
⸻
[Bridge – stripped / near whisper]
If you’d screamed
I could’ve screamed back
If you’d broken something
I could’ve tried to patch
But you don’t fix
What never fell apart
It just… stops beating
In the dark
⸻
[Build – backing vocals low]
(Still here…)
(Still breathing…)
(Holding on…)
(To nothing…)
⸻
[Final Chorus – fuller, emotional]
You left quiet
And I stayed loud inside
Trying to understand
How love learns how to hide
You left quiet
And I stayed
Learning silence
Has its own way to say
⸻
[Outro]
Door still closed
House still blue
Funny how loud
Missing you
