Where The Silence Live

[Intro – ambient pads, faint crackle]
Yeah…
Some goodbyes don’t make a sound.
[Verse 1 – soft, confessional]
I keep your name in conversations
I never finish out loud.
Every room feels unfamiliar
Since you’re not around.
I replay moments like habits,
Like I’m scared they’ll fade away.
Funny how I’m holding on
To the things I couldn’t save.
[Pre-Chorus – subtle lift]
I don’t cry like I used to,
I just sit with the ache.
Learning how to miss you
In quieter ways.
[Chorus – heartfelt, aching]
I’m standing where the silence lives,
Where your voice used to be.
Every dream I built around us
Ends halfway through me.
If love doesn’t disappear,
Why does it hurt this deep?
I’m standing where the silence lives,
Trying to learn how to breathe.
[Post-Chorus – wordless echoes]
Mm…
Yeah…
[Verse 2 – reflective, wounded]
I see you in the little things,
In songs, in passing cars.
I swear the night knows your name
The way the dark hits hard.
They say time fixes everything,
But time just taught me truth—
That some hearts don’t stop breaking,
They just learn how to move.
[Pre-Chorus – heavier realization]
I don’t wish you’d come back now,
I just wish I understood
Why love can feel so real
And still leave you alone for good.
[Chorus – fuller, emotional]
I’m standing where the silence lives,
Holding words I never said.
Every promise we imagined
Still echoes in my head.
If letting go is mercy,
Why does it feel like defeat?
I’m standing where the silence lives,
Trying not to miss you completely.
[Bridge – stripped, near-whisper]
I loved you the best way I knew,
Even when I was afraid.
If that wasn’t enough for us,
I hope it was enough to say—
I tried.
[Final Chorus – quiet resolve]
I’m standing where the silence lives,
But I won’t stay here forever.
Some wounds don’t close with time,
They just change shape, they change weather.
If I smile again someday,
Know it’s not pretending peace.
It’s just me learning how to live
With the silence underneath.
[Outro – pads fade, soft breath]
Yeah…
Some goodbyes
Never leave.
