Verse 1
There’s a silence in the aftermath
Of every word I wish I had back
Echoes fading off the walls
Of every time I tried to call
No more anger left to throw
Just this weight I can’t let go
Every prayer I used to scream
Now just dies inside of me
Pre-Chorus
I thought I’d feel something by now
But I just don’t know how
Chorus
It’s the quiet between
Every word I didn’t mean
Every night I tried to scream
Till I lost my voice again
It’s the space you left behind
Every time I crossed the line
Every truth I couldn’t find
In the silence
Verse 2
I don’t fight it like before
I just stare at the floor
Like maybe if I stay right here
I won’t have to face the fear
Of believing you exist
When you feel like this
Like a ghost I can’t explain
Or a voice inside the pain
Pre-Chorus
I thought I’d feel something by now
But I just don’t know how
Chorus
It’s the quiet between
Every word I didn’t mean
Every night I tried to scream
Till I lost my voice again
It’s the space you left behind
Every time I crossed the line
Every truth I couldn’t find
In the silence
Bridge (soft → build)
Maybe I just talked too loud
Maybe I just wore you out
Maybe I don’t know a thing
About the quiet in between
Maybe faith is just the sound
Of no one else around
Or maybe it’s the breath you take
Before you finally break
Final Chorus (soaring)
It’s the quiet between
Every word I didn’t mean
Every night I tried to scream
Till I lost my voice again
It’s the space you left behind
Every truth I couldn’t find
If you’re somewhere in my mind
Break the silence
