love you in silence

Verse 1

I still see you when the room gets quiet

Back of my mind, yeah, you still live there

The way you looked at me, so patient

Like you already knew I’d disappear

I was standing right in front of heaven

But I couldn’t feel a thing back then

I turned my back, I called it freedom

Left you bleeding just to save myself

(oooh yeah…)

Pre-Chorus

I told myself I needed space

But that was fear wearing a different face

You were ready, I was running

Now I’m here with nothing

Chorus

I’m sorry for the nights I let you fall alone

For every time I chose the dark instead of home

I was scared, I was weak, I couldn’t see

You were giving every piece of you to me

Yeah, I’m sorry that I lost you on my own

Closed my heart and watched you walk out the door

I can’t fix it, I can’t fight what’s true

So I’ll love you in silence

Yeah… I’ll love you in silence

(ohhh…)

Verse 2

I replay your voice like a warning

Every word hits harder now

The way your hand fit right in mine

God, I don’t know how I missed that

Everything with you was honest

Every room felt safe and warm

But I was chasing empty feelings

While you were standing right there, sure

Pre-Chorus

If I could turn this car around

I’d say the things I won’t say now

But you’re already gone

And I’m the only one still holding on

Chorus

I’m sorry for the nights I let you fall alone

For every time I chose the dark instead of home

I was scared, I was weak, I couldn’t see

You were giving every piece of you to me

Yeah, I’m sorry that I lost you on my own

Closed my heart and watched you walk out the door

I can’t fix it, I can’t fight what’s true

So I’ll love you in silence

Yeah… I’ll love you in silence

Bridge (breakdown)

I know apologies don’t change a thing

I know your heart don’t answer when I sing

But if loving you means letting go

Then I’ll carry this weight alone

(oh Lord…)

I’m sorry for the nights I let you down

For walking away when love was all around

I was scared, I was weak, I didn’t want to see

You were everything you said you’d be

Yeah, I’m sorry that I lost you, I was wrong

Held my pride and now you’re gone

I can’t make it right, but this is true

I’ll love you in silence

Every night…

Yeah, I’ll love you in silence

(ooooh… yeah…)
