silent walls

[Verse 1] In the cold of October, you slipped through the cracks, I’m playing back scenes, trying to understand the facts. Your silence a fortress, no entry, no plea, Was it something I said, or just ceased to be? [Pre-Chorus] Every laugh we shared, now a ghost in my mind, Chasing shadows of you that I can’t seem to find. [Chorus] You walked away quietly, left me in the rearview, Haunted by the memories, in the silence I stew. Thought we’d be forever, now we’re strangers instead, It’s the echoes of words we never said. [Verse 2] Was it my jealousy, a secret spilled on the side? My mind’s a courtroom where I’ve judged but can’t decide. Your absence is a verdict I still can’t accept, Seven years gone, and it’s me who's inept. [Pre-Chorus] I’ve grown up but inside I’m still that kid, Grasping at the friendship, from the truth you hid. [Chorus] You walked away quietly, left me in the rearview, Haunted by the memories, in the silence I stew. Thought we’d be forever, now we’re strangers instead, It’s the echoes of words we never said. [Bridge] Now I see you clear, in dreams that feel so real, Wish you’d just appear, and tell me how to heal. But I'm left with silent answers, to questions never asked, In the theater of our past, I face an endless task. [Outro] Still, I play our old songs, each one a bitter trace, Of the bond we lost, and time won't replace. Trying to forgive, to find my peace somehow, But I'm still learning to live with the loss I feel now. [end]
