LYRIC FOR SALE

By Bjorn Smit

(Verse)
You stopped telling me about your day
Stopped calling just to hear my voice
We still sat across the table
But somehow love had lost its noise

I kept trying to hold the pieces
Thinking time would make them fit
Never saw the door wide open
'Til you finally walked through it

(Pre-Chorus)
Looking back, it all seems clear
The ending started long before

(Chorus)
You left before you left
Long before goodbye was spoken
There were empty spaces growing
In the words we never said

You left before you left
And I was holding on to memories
Trying to save what wasn't there
While you were already somewhere else

(Verse)
I still know the way you'd laugh
The little things that made you smile
Funny how a heart can miss someone
Who'd been gone for quite a while

I don't blame you for the leaving
Or the choices that you made
I just wish I'd seen the distance
Before it got too far away

(Pre-Chorus)
Looking back, it all seems clear
The ending started long before

(Chorus)
You left before you left
Long before goodbye was spoken
There were empty spaces growing
In the words we never said

You left before you left
And I was holding on to memories
Trying to save what wasn't there
While you were already somewhere else

(Bridge)
Maybe love doesn't always break
Maybe sometimes it just fades
One slow step at a time
Until there's nothing left to save

(Final Chorus)
You left before you left
And now I finally understand it
The hardest part was never losing you
It was losing you in pieces

You left before you left
Long before goodbye was spoken
And I still hear the silence
Where our future used to be
