Silence Louder Than Words
“Write a song about the moment you realized someone you loved was slipping away, and how the silence between you felt louder than words.”

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We used to talk till dawn broke through the glass
Now I'm staring at your face across the table
Your eyes don't meet mine like they did
And I'm drowning in the space between us
[Pre-Chorus]
I reach for you but my hand just hangs there
Words die before they leave my mouth
Something's changed and we both know it
[Chorus]
The quiet's getting louder
Every breath a scream I can't ignore
The quiet's getting colder
And I'm burning up wanting you like before
Tell me how the silence says goodbye
Better than the truth we're terrified to try
The quiet's getting louder now
[Verse 2]
Remember summer nights out by the lake
You laughed so hard you fell into my arms
Now that memory cuts right through me
'Cause the joy's still there but you're already gone
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm searching for the words to pull you back
But they're lost somewhere in all this empty air
You're so close I could touch you
But miles away from what we were
[Chorus]
The quiet's getting louder
Every breath a scream I can't ignore
The quiet's getting colder
And I'm burning up wanting you like before
Tell me how the silence says goodbye
Better than the truth we're terrified to try
The quiet's getting louder now
[Bridge]
When did we stop fighting for this
When did we give up without a sound
I'm holding on but you're slipping
Through my fingers without a word
[Final Chorus]
The quiet's getting louder
Every heartbeat echoes what we've lost
The quiet's getting colder
And I never knew that silence had this cost
We're drowning in the words we'll never say
Watching love fade out in slow decay
The quiet's getting louder
The quiet's getting louder now
[Outro]
(The quiet's getting louder)
(Getting louder now)
