When Love Became Silence

The lamp still burns on your side of the room Coffee went cold – like a grave without a bloom Your coat still hangs where goodbye lost its tongue I reach into the air and feel what's come undone I spoke too late You cried too low We watched our last small fire go down slow When love became silence I heard my heart fall No door ever slammed No thunder, no call Only your shadow slipping from my bed Only the weight of everything I never said The streetlights bleed through the blinds like a bruise I pour one more glass – got nothing left to lose My hands still remember the shape of your face But time walks in cold and scrubs out every trace I played the strong man I played the fool Now every empty chair knows more than I do When love became silence I heard my heart fall No door ever slammed No thunder, no call Only your shadow slipping from my bed Only the weight of everything I never said I don't curse your name into the dark I don't beg the night to restart Some wounds just breathe long after the bleeding's gone Some silences are louder than any goodbye song When love became silence I heard my heart fall No door ever slammed No thunder, no call Only your shadow slipping from my bed Only the weight of everything I never said Your side of the room still waits for light Love left so softly I missed the whole damn fight
