Killed By Your Silence

Verse 1

I keep checking my phone like it owes me a sign,

like your words might come back and make everything fine.

But the screen stays empty, cold neon light,

and I’m losing myself in the middle of the night.

I replay every moment, every laugh, every touch,

wondering when I became too little, too much.

And I hate that I’m hoping, I hate that I wait—

like my heart’s on a leash, and you’re holding the gate.

Pre-Chorus

‘Cause when you disappear,

it’s louder than a scream,

and I start to believe

I was just a dream.

Chorus

I’m killed by your silence,

bleeding in the quiet,

you don’t have to say a word

to start a riot.

You leave me unanswered,

like I never mattered,

and every little second

makes me shatter.

I’d rather hear goodbye

than live in this violence—

I’m killed by your silence.

Verse 2

I tell myself I’m strong, I can handle the pain,

but it crawls through my chest like acid in my veins.

People say “Let it go”, like it’s easy to do,

but they don’t know the war in the space where you were, too.

I keep writing messages I’ll never send,

praying this heartbreak still has a bend.

And I’m haunted by the version of you that was mine—

now I’m stuck with the ghost and the missing reply.

Pre-Chorus

You don’t even have to lie,

you don’t even have to fight—

you just vanish into nothing,

and I die every night.

Chorus

I’m killed by your silence,

bleeding in the quiet,

you don’t have to say a word

to start a riot.

You leave me unanswered,

like I never mattered,

and every little second

makes me shatter.

I’d rather hear goodbye

than live in this violence—

I’m killed by your silence.

Bridge

I’m screaming in my head, but my lips don’t move,

I’m breaking every rule just to not lose you.

Tell me—was I real?

Tell me—was it true?

Or was I just a chapter

you already grew through?

I hate that I miss you,

I hate that it’s like this…

But you’re the deepest wound

I still wanna kiss.

Final Chorus (Bigger)

I’m killed by your silence,

drowning in the quiet,

you don’t have to say a word

to start a riot.

You leave me unanswered,

like I never mattered,

and every little second

makes me shatter.

Say something—anything—

don’t let it end in violence…

I’m killed by your silence.

Outro

No words…

just the sound of me breaking.

No answer…

and my heart still waiting.
