I wash the windows just to see if loving you still lives in me
The glass was cold, it felt like truth
A quiet ache that knew my youth
The floorboards creak beneath my feet
Like memories that won't retreat Your shadow slips across the door
I swear you're gone, but never more
And oh,
quiet rooms don't stay quiet
Not when my heart starts to riot
I try to breathe, but you echo through the walls
Every step I take still feels like you're cold
Oh,
I'm learning how to lose you slow In a place that used to glow
I keep the lamp on late at night It makes the loneliness look light
I trace your name in empty air Pretend you're close,
pretend you're there
The mirror shows a softer me Someone I never meant to be
I held your love like porcelain It cracked the day you left again
And oh,
quiet rooms don't stay quiet Not when my heart starts to riot
I try to breathe,
but you echo through the walls Every
step I take still feels like you're cold
Oh,
I'm learning how to lose you slow In a place that used to glow
Maybe love was never mine to keep
Maybe you were just a borrowed dream
I close my eyes and hear you say
I'll leave,
but you'll be okay
But I'm not,
not today
And oh,
quiet rooms don't stay quiet Not when the past moves like a pilot
I try to run,
but I circle where we were Every silence feels like whispering hurt
Oh,
I'm learning how to let you go In a heart you used to...
