LYRIC FOR SALE

Verse 1
We used to scrape the paint off these walls with our words
Now we just tiptoe around the creaky floorboards
It’s funny how the screaming never hurt
As much as this quiet we can finally afford
Chorus
The silence is ringing in my ears tonight
Heavier than any “goodbye” or “get out”
You don’t have to kill the light
For me to know exactly what we’re about
Verse 2
Two coffee mugs staining the porcelain sink
Side by side, but miles apart
I’m overanalyzing every time you blink
Tracing the cracks where we used to have a heart
Chorus
The silence is ringing in my ears tonight
Heavier than any “goodbye” or “get out”
You don’t have to kill the light
For me to know exactly what we’re about
Bridge
We’re just two ghosts sharing a zip code
Living in the “after” of a life we used to know
No more slamming doors or hitting the road
Just a slow, cold settling like snow
Final Chorus
The silence is the loudest thing in this room
Drowning out every promise we ever made
You don’t have to seal our doom
I can already feel the colors start to fade
Outro
I’m listening to the clock tick
Counting the seconds until you’re officially gone
