The house holds its breath; the air feels thin,
Every corner whispers where you've been.
I sit with the stillness, try to let it be,
But the quiet doesn't feel like company.
I'm chasing the silence, but it cuts too deep,
Like a shadow that lingers where you used to speak.
The stillness grows heavy, it won't let me through,
I'm chasing the silence, but it leads back to you.
I thought the quiet would bring some peace,
But it carries the weight of what we couldn't keep.
Your absence fills the spaces too loud to ignore,
Like the creak of a floorboard that's not yours anymore.
I'm chasing the silence, but it cuts too deep,
Like a shadow that lingers where you used to speak.
The stillness grows heavy, it won't let me through,
I'm chasing the silence, but it leads back to you.
They say silence heals, but they don't say how,
When it carries the weight of a broken vow.
I'm searching for stillness, but it feels like a lie,
'Cause the quiet just asks me why.
I'm chasing the silence, but it cuts too deep,
Like a shadow that lingers where you used to speak.
The stillness grows heavy, it won't let me through,
I'm chasing the silence, but it leads back to you.
The house holds its breath; the air feels thin,
And I'm chasing a silence that I can't outrun.
