🎵 Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
The clock is ticking on the mantelpiece
I'm waiting for a storm that brings release
Your coat is hanging by the bedroom door
Your footsteps still remember this old floor
I pour one cup, I watch the morning break
And learn to live with this familiar ache
[Chorus]
It’s the silence left behind that hurts the most
Drinking coffee with a quiet, lingering ghost
No screaming matches and no tears to dry
Just the heavy breathing of a long goodbye
Yeah, the house is still... but my heart just weeps.
[Verse 2]
I thought the pain would be a burning fire
A sudden crash, a desperate desire
But it’s a chill that creeps into the bone
The slow realization that I am alone
No shattered plates, no packing up the car
Just staring at the space where you once were
[Chorus]
It’s the silence left behind that hurts the most
Drinking coffee with a quiet, lingering ghost
No screaming matches and no tears to dry
Just the heavy breathing of a long goodbye
Yeah, the house is still... but my heart just weeps.
[Bridge]
You didn't take my heart, you just let it fall
A quiet shadow slipping down the hall
I'm learning how to breathe this empty air
And reaching out for hands that are not there.
[Outro]
The silence left behind.
Just an empty room.
The quietest goodbye.
