YOU WENT QUIET

Sometimes the loudest things are the ones left unsaid. This track is about the weight of the silence and the space between two people. Written and produced during those late-night hours when everything feels a bit heavier. Lyrics: (Verse 1) The air is thick with a silence that screams, Tearing the edges of all of my dreams. I’m standing still while the world moves on, Grasping for shadows of a light that's gone. The weight in my chest is a stone in the sea, And the ghost of who we were is haunting me. (Chorus) It’s a hollow ache, a cold, sharp sting, The bitter taste that the "almosts" bring. I’ve poured my soul into a well gone dry, Watching the embers of a promise die. It’s the uncontentment, the restless fire, Tied to the ghost of a dead desire. (Verse 2) The more I reach, the further it feels, Trapped in a cycle of spinning wheels. I’m playing a part that I’ve outgrown, Surrounded by people but feeling alone. It’s the sting of the "fine" and the "it’s okay," While everything real is slipping away. (Bridge) My pride is a shield that’s starting to break, How much of this burden am I meant to take? I’m tired of being the one who understands, With nothing but sand slipping through my hands. (Chorus) It’s a hollow ache, a cold, sharp sting, The bitter taste that the "almosts" bring. I’ve poured my soul into a well gone dry, Watching the embers of a promise die. It’s the uncontentment, the restless fire, Tied to the ghost of a dead desire. (Outro) Just let the noise fade into the gray, Maybe the pain is the only way. To finally stop, to finally see, That I’m the only one left holding me. (Fade out) Yeah, I’m the only one left holding me. #originalmusic #alternative #newmusic #youwentquiet
