Love the Silence

Starting to Love the Silence

Verse 1

I used to hate the quiet

’Cause it gave my thoughts a voice

Every room felt like a warning

Every breath felt like a choice

I was used to all the breaking

Used to waiting for the sound

Of a door slammed hard behind me

Or another battle coming ’round

Pre-Chorus

But somewhere in the letting go

I found a place I’d never known

A little light behind the noise

A reason just to call it home

Chorus

I’m starting to love the silence

it settles like snow on a windowpane

no more screaming through the walls

no more running through my veins

I can hear my own heartbeat

like a drum that learned to stay

I thought the quiet would break me

but it taught my fear to fade

I’m starting to love the silence

and it finally knows my name

Verse 2

There’s no shadow in the hallway

No footsteps I’m afraid to hear

No walking on eggshell moments

No pretending love is fear

I used to think that living

Meant just making it through pain

Now I wake up to the morning

And I don’t feel the same

Pre-Chorus

And every night the darkness falls

But I don’t feel lost inside it all

I’m learning how to stand my ground

And hear my own voice when it calls

Chorus

I’m starting to love the silence

it settles like snow on a windowpane

no more screaming through the walls

no more running through my veins

I can hear my own heartbeat

like a drum that learned to stay

I thought the quiet would break me

but it taught my fear to fade

I’m starting to love the silence

and it finally knows my name

Bridge

Maybe silence isn’t empty

Maybe it’s where life begins

Where you stop just getting by

And start letting something in

I don’t need another voice

Telling me who I should be

For the first time in forever

I’m choosing what’s inside of me

Final Chorus

I’m starting to love the silence

it feels like light through empty rooms

no more begging for a moment

just to breathe without the wounds

I can hear my own heartbeat

like a truth I couldn’t find

I thought I needed all that noise

but it was only in my mind

I’m starting to love the silence

and it sounds like peace this time

Outro

So let the whole world fade away

I’ve got nothing left to prove

I’m starting to love the silence

And I’m finally learning how to move
