[Intro]
(Shhh…)
I hear the sound, but not the words
They fade like smoke into the blur
(Ohhhh…)
---
[Verse 1]
You’re yelling again, but I’m not there
I’ve gone somewhere soft where I don’t care
Your voice is sharp like shattered glass
I hold my breath until it’s passed
(Ooooh…)
---
[Pre-Chorus]
You think that louder means more truth
But I can’t reach you through the proof
I shut the door inside my mind
And leave your noise behind
---
[Chorus]
You’re yelling like that’ll make it right
Like volume replaces what we lost tonight
But I’m not fighting, I’m just small
Curled in silence, feeling nothing at all
You’re yelling like I’m supposed to break
But I’m already gone, so what’s at stake?
I’m just an echo in your storm
Cold and quiet, no longer warm
---
[Verse 2]
Your anger hits like pouring rain
But I’ve built shelter in my pain
I count the cracks in ceiling tiles
While you throw words across the miles
(Mmm… I hear you, but I don't feel it…)
---
[Pre-Chorus]
We’ve danced this fire far too long
I forgot the steps, forgot the song
I’m not your mirror, not your fight
I’m fading fast into the night
---
[Chorus]
You’re yelling like that’ll make it right
Like louder means you're justified
But I’m not here to catch the blame
Not burning up to feed your flame
You’re yelling like I should react
But I’ve slipped out and won’t come back
I’m just an echo in your storm
A hollow shape, no longer warm
---
[Bridge]
(Whispered)
If you ever whispered love again
Would I even recognize the sound?
Your voice became a battleground
Where peace was lost, never found
---
[Final Chorus]
You’re yelling, but I’m not yours to break
My silence is the choice I make
I won’t shout back, won’t feed the fire
I’m tired of burning just to inspire
You’re yelling, but I’ve gone still
And quiet’s louder than your will
---
[Outro]
(Ohhh… you’re yelling…)
But I won’t yell back
No, I won’t…
(Shhh…)
