Measuring the Silence

[INTRO]
We didn’t say it
But we both knew

[VERSE 1]
I counted seconds between your breaths
Like numbers would tell me what you meant
Every word hung in the air
Too heavy to move

You stared past me like I wasn’t there
Like something already left the room
I felt the distance settle in
Before I knew

[PRE-CHORUS]
If this is where it fractures
Why does it feel so calm
I’m standing in the moment
Where nothing feels wrong

[CHORUS]
I’m measuring the silence
Between you and me
It keeps getting louder
The longer we breathe

[VERSE 2]
You stopped reaching for my hand
Before I noticed you let go
Every answer felt delayed
Every truth moved slow

I tried to hold the shape we had
But it wouldn’t stay the same
Nothing broke all at once
It just changed

[BREAKDOWN]
Say something
Anything
Fill the space
Before it fills me

We’re standing still
But I can feel it pulling
This isn’t peace
It’s pressure

[CHORUS]
I’m measuring the silence
Between you and me
It keeps getting louder
The longer we breathe

[OUTRO]
We didn’t say it
But we both knew
