Running From The Silence

We used to talk till the sky turned grey

Now I'm staring at the ceiling where your shadow used to play

Your coffee cup is still on the windowsill

Like it's waiting for a reason, like it's frozen still

I tried to keep the fire lit but we burned too slow

Now I'm drowning in the quiet where your voice won't go

How did we fade like ink in the rain?

Every word washed down the drain

I keep running from the silence, but it follows me home

Your ghost is in the wires, bleeding through the phone

I hate that I still feel you under my skin

Say I'm fine but I cave again

I keep running from the silence but it's pulling me in

Pulling me in, pulling me in

I wear your old hoodie just to feel less cold

But the fabric's getting thinner like the lies we told

Your name hits like metal when the past gets loud

And I fold inside myself just to shut it out

We built a house from fear and hope

But love's a loaded weapon when you're out of rope

How did we fade like ink in the rain?

Every word washed down the drain

I keep running from the silence, but it follows me home

Your ghost is in the wires, bleeding through the phone

I hate that I still feel you under my skin

Say I'm fine but I cave again

I keep running from the silence but it's pulling me in

Pulling me in, pulling me in

Maybe I lost you long before you walked away

Maybe I break myself just to feel something

If healing's just a memory I can't replace

Then why do I still carve your name in everything?

I keep running from the silence, but it follows me home

Your ghost is in the wires, bleeding through the phone

I hate that I still feel you under my skin

Say I'm fine but I cave again

I keep running from the silence but it's pulling me in

Pulling me in—

I keep running from the silence but it's pulling me in

Pulling me in, pulling me in
