Unspoken Goodbyes
By Christina Mae Watson
[Verse]
Some hearts beat faster, walkin’ out the door,
They drum a farewell in the quiet of the floor.
Walk through my life, like a slow, soft crash,
Half-formed promises scattered in the past.
I learned lessons from the way they go,
The smallest pause with the loudest echo.
[Bridge]
Some people leave like a stone,
Causing ripples in water, chasing the unknown.
I hold the place where they once stood,
Even if you forget, I never could.
[Chorus]
Sometimes the kindest thing is a quiet step away
Doesn't mean it won’t hurt or haunt me some days
Unspoken goodbyes play in my head
Hearing every word you never said
Unspoken goodbyes curl up like smoke in my hands
I write songs for ghosts, and try to understand
[Verse]
I stood so still the world forgot my name
I count every breath, every half-made flame
Forgotten moments, slipping toward the seam
Where nothing starts and everything's a dream
They taught me how leaving always sounds the same
A hollow step, [Whisper]a whisper,
Then a train
[Chorus]
Sometimes the kindest thing is a quiet step away
Doesn't mean it won’t hurt or haunt me some days
Unspoken goodbyes play in my head
Hearing every word you never said
Unspoken goodbyes curl up like smoke in my hands
I write songs for ghosts, and try to understand
[Bridge]
Some people leave like a stone,
Causing ripples in water, chasing the unknown.
I hold the place where they once stood,
Even if you forget, I never could.
[Chorus]
Sometimes the kindest thing is a quiet step away
Doesn't mean it won’t hurt or haunt me some days
Unspoken goodbyes play in my head
Hearing every word you never said
Unspoken goodbyes curl up like smoke in my hands
I write songs for ghosts, and try to understand
[Outro]
Go, step away, chase the unknown,
This one’s gonna haunt me. [Laughter]
Unspoken goodbyes ,
All the words you never said.
Say it again.
Unspoken goodbyes, Go on
This song’s for your ghost.
I Don’t think I’ll ever understand
What’s that? I didn’t hear you.
