Last words

Verse 1

They fought over something

that didn’t even matter

Pride sat between them

like a wall they both built

After arguing he says “I’m going out”

she didn’t look up

Just kept her eyes on the floor

Until she heard the door close

Verse 2

The phone rings….

she says “what do you want”…

He says he’s at the store

And with a tired voice

Asked if she needed anything, anything at all

She let the silence stretch, then cut it cold

“No. Nothing.”

Before he could reply.

She hangs up the phone

Chorus

She didn’t say I love you

She didn’t say I’m sorry

She didn’t tell him to come back home

she sat in her pride

And just said “No, nothing”

Verse 3

She cooled down , like she always does

Organized the house,

lit the candles,

made the popcorn the way he loves

Pour two glasses of wine

Sat on the couch telling herself he’d walk back in

Any minute… any minute

Chorus

She didn’t say I love you

She didn’t say I’m sorry

She didn’t tell him to come back home

she sat in her pride

And just said “No, nothing”

Bridge

She gets woken up

By the phone ringing

but it felt different

The room felt cold as she answers

A strangers voices says…

“There was an accident”

Those words hit her harder than anything before

She rushed to the hospital….

“Is he ok?” She asked

The silence said it all

The police brought the groceries bags in….

Milk, bread, the usual

And one bag she almost missed—

Roses already starting to droop

And a card that just said I’m sorry

He wasn’t even the one who was wrong

Just the one that wanted to make it right

Final Chorus

Those were the last words he ever heard from her

“No, nothing”

She never said I love you

She never said I’m sorry

He left with roses and a card in the bag

While she was still waiting with popcorn that went cold

Knowing that the last words he heard from her…..-

No, nothing

No… nothing

Outro

The popcorn sits uneaten

The roses are in a vase

And every quiet room still answers the same way she did that night

No.

Nothing.
