Verse 1

We used to talk ‘til the sun came up,

Laughin’ at nothing, fallin’ in love.

Now dinner’s quiet, the air feels cold,

Two beating hearts growing scared and old.

You look at your phone, I stare at the door,

Both of us drowning while saying “I’m fine” once more.

There’s a truth in your eyes that you’re scared to let out,

And a truth in my chest that I’m terrified to shout.

Pre-Chorus

We’re living like strangers in a place we built,

Tiptoeing around all the things we feel.

I almost reach for you… but I pull away,

And we die a little more every day.

Chorus

It’s the things we don’t say that tear us apart,

The words that get trapped at the back of the heart.

The fears we swallow, the tears we hide,

Sleeping back-to-back with miles inside.

We could save this love, but we’re too afraid—

Yeah, we’re breaking in the silence

Of the things we don’t say.

Verse 2

You want to tell me you miss how we were,

How you felt seen when I whispered your name first.

I want to tell you I’m slipping, I’m scared,

That I’m losing the one who once always was there.

I practice the words when you’re fast asleep,

But when morning comes, I go quiet, I keep

Pretending it’s nothing, pretending we’re fine,

While the truth builds a wall between your heart and mine.

Pre-Chorus

If I said “I need you,” would you turn away?

If you said “Don’t leave me,” would I even stay?

We’re both reaching out but no one can see—

There’s a prison made of pride between you and me.

Chorus

It’s the things we don’t say that tear us apart,

The words that get trapped at the back of the heart.

The fears we swallow, the tears we hide,

Sleeping back-to-back with miles inside.

We could save this love, but we’re too afraid—

Yeah, we’re breaking in the silence

Of the things we don’t say.

Bridge

One sentence of truth could’ve changed it all—

But we let the silence build the wall.

If I’d said “I’m scared of losing you,”

If you’d said “I feel the same way too…”

Maybe the night wouldn’t feel so long,

Maybe we’d remember where we belong.

But instead we let the quiet take our place,

And everything we were slips away without a trace.

Final Chorus

It’s the things we don’t say that finally break

The love we swore nothing ever could take.

The words left unspoken, the hurt left to grow,

The “I still love you’s” we never let show.

Now we sit in the ruins we made day by day—

Yeah, we lost us in the silence

Of the things we don’t say.Maybe someday I’ll whisper the truth your way…

But tonight we live with

The things we don’t say.
