[Intro – Soft Guitar / Ambient]
Ah, ah…
I wanted love
You wanted something to escape in
⸻
[Chorus]
I wanted love, you wanted fantasy
I wanted trust, you couldn’t handle me
I scream for you, you never answer me
Your silence is loud, it’s killing me
I can’t feel your heartbeat anymore
Don’t say you love me, say it’s war
I’m on my knees, still begging please
Your silence is loud, it’s deafening
⸻
[Verse 1]
Go ahead, tell me I’m the problem
While his hands don’t even care where you’ve been
Say I’m dramatic, say I’m toxic
While you fall for a guy who won’t listen
You’re in love with the feeling of feeling used
Say you hate me, yeah, bet, that’s cool
You don’t want the drama, want the bruise
You’d rather feel pain than the truth
I fell too fast, yeah, that’s a fact
Attachment issues, losing my grasp
I was starving for a little bit of light
Now I’m blinded—what kind of love is that?
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
Will you hear me if I scream your name?
Or only notice when I fade away?
If I stay quiet, will you stay the same?
Or is silence how you run away?
⸻
[Chorus]
I wanted love, you wanted fantasy
I wanted trust, you couldn’t handle me
I scream for you, you never answer me
Your silence is loud, it’s killing me
I can’t trust a soul, I can’t feel at all
Don’t say you love me, just let me fall
I cried every night, now I barely breathe
Your silence is loud when you look at me
⸻
[Verse 2]
Will you save me if I break down now?
Or blame me for bleeding in public crowds?
When the world feels sick and the streets feel cold
And I’m fighting demons you’ll never know
Friends say I’m slipping, say I’ve changed
Too much distance, too much space
I was anxious how I looked in your eyes
Now I’m watching pieces of my life go by
I can’t help that I still might love you
You’re real nice, but I don’t trust you
You want him now, he might break you too
I can’t save you—I barely make it through
⸻
[Bridge – Half-Sung / Emotional Lift]
If I kick and scream, will you hear me now?
If I say nothing, will you figure it out?
I gave you my heart, you gave me doubt
Your silence is louder than screaming out loud
⸻
[Final Chorus / Outro]
I wanted love, you wanted fantasy
I wanted truth, you ran from me
I’m letting go, but it still hurts me
Your silence is loud—
And that’s what broke me
