The Quiet Breaking

Lyrics: You are watching the rain hit the glass Thinking about the garden we meant to plant I am tracing the wood grain on the table Wondering when the air became this heavy It is not that the house is cold It is just that I am built for the wind We were a lovely idea, weren't we? Like a melody I almost learned by heart But the notes do not fit my hands anymore And your life needs a different rhythm It is a quiet kind of breaking (Such a quiet breaking) You bought those thick wool blankets To keep the winter from our bones But I still find myself opening the window Just to hear the world moving without us We are looking at the same horizon From two different sides of the porch We were a lovely idea, weren't we? Like a melody I almost learned by heart But the notes do not fit my hands anymore And your life needs a different rhythm It is a quiet kind of breaking (Such a quiet breaking) There is no use in searching for a villain Nobody did anything wrong this time We just reached the end of the paved road Where the map turns into the sea And I never learned how to swim We were a lovely idea, weren't we? Like a melody I almost learned by heart But the notes do not fit my hands anymore And your life needs a different rhythm It is a quiet kind of breaking [Piano fades to a single repeating note] Put the kettle on one last time I will be gone before the tea gets cold (Before the tea gets cold) It was enough for a while It was enough
