Silent Goodbye

Loyalty's a thorn, it cuts so deep

In the silence, she begins to seep

Waiting, hoping, for a sign

But she’s lost herself in trying to shine

The woman who keeps forgiving, she’s the strongest among us

Holding on through pain, she’s fighting just to trust

She believes in the man she sees inside your eyes

Sacrifices her soul, while her own heart dies

She's telling herself it's okay, just one more day

Even as her tears fade away

She’s giving all she’s got, so you can see

But inside she’s breaking silently

She stays, she explains, she forgives, she tries again

But inside her world is crumbling, can’t you see?

Not just loyal, she’s losing her way

Hoping you'll change, to her dismay

When the silence hits, and she’s gone

You finally realize what you've done wrong

A heart that’s breaking, a soul that’s aching

She’s giving everything but you’re still hurting her

No warning, no fight, just distance and silent tears

She’s been breaking slowly for years

A love so wounded, a trust so thin

One day she’s done, she’s walking away from within

Now you see what you've lost, what she sacrificed

Caught in your shadow, she paid the price

Wanna change, wanna fix, but it's too late

You hurt the one who loved you, sealed her fate

She’s gone, and only then you realize

The cost of the love that you denied
