[Intro]
0:02
Verse 1
0:12
We used to talk ‘til the sun came up,
0:12
Laughin’ at nothing, fallin’ in love.
0:16
Now dinner’s quiet, the air feels cold,
0:19
Two beating hearts growing scared and old.
0:22
You look at your phone, I stare at the door,
0:25
Both of us drowning while saying “I’m fine” once more.
0:29
There’s a truth in your eyes that you’re scared to let out,
0:32
And a truth in my chest that I’m terrified to shout.
0:36
Pre-Chorus
0:40
We’re living like strangers in a place we built,
0:40
Tiptoeing around all the things we feel.
0:44
I almost reach for you… but I pull away,
0:47
And we die a little more every day.
0:51
Chorus
0:55
It’s the things we don’t say that tear us apart,
0:55
The words that get trapped at the back of the heart.
1:02
The fears we swallow, the tears we hide,
1:09
Sleeping back-to-back with miles inside.
1:13
We could save this love, but we’re too afraid—
1:16
Yeah, we’re breaking in the silence
1:22
Of the things we don’t say.
1:25
Verse 2
1:29
You want to tell me you miss how we were,
1:29
How you felt seen when I whispered your name first.
1:32
I want to tell you I’m slipping, I’m scared,
1:35
That I’m losing the one who once always was there.
1:39
I practice the words when you’re fast asleep,
1:42
But when morning comes, I go quiet, I keep
1:45
Pretending it’s nothing, pretending we’re fine,
1:49
While the truth builds a wall between your heart and mine.
1:52
Pre-Chorus
1:56
If I said “I need you,” would you turn away?
1:56
If you said “Don’t leave me,” would I even stay?
1:59
We’re both reaching out but no one can see—
2:02
There’s a prison made of pride between you and me.
2:06
Chorus
2:12
It’s the things we don’t say that tear us apart,
2:12
The words that get trapped at the back of the heart.
2:19
The fears we swallow, the tears we hide,
2:25
Sleeping back-to-back with miles inside.
2:29
We could save this love, but we’re too afraid—
2:33
Yeah, we’re breaking in the silence
2:39
Of the things we don’t say.
2:42
Bridge
2:46
One sentence of truth could’ve changed it all—
2:46
But we let the silence build the wall.
2:50
If I’d said “I’m scared of losing you,”
2:53
If you’d said “I feel the same way too…”
2:56
Maybe the night wouldn’t feel so long,
3:00
Maybe we’d remember where we belong.
3:03
But instead we let the quiet take our place,
3:06
And everything we were slips away without a trace.
3:10
Final Chorus
3:15
It’s the things we don’t say that finally break
3:15
The love we swore nothing ever could take.
3:22
The words left unspoken, the hurt left to grow,
3:29
The “I still love you’s” we never let show.
3:33
Now we sit in the ruins we made day by day—
3:36
Yeah, we lost us in the silence
3:42
Of the things we don’t say.Maybe someday I’ll whisper the truth your way…
3:45
But tonight we live with
3:55
The things we don’t say.
3:58
