Silent treatment

Verse 1
We used to talk until the morning light
Every little fear, every little fight
Now you’re sitting right across from me
But the distance feels like miles I cannot see

You look away when I call your name
Like loving me became a losing game
And every question fades into the air
While I’m left wondering if you still care

Pre-Chorus
I can handle truth, I can handle pain
But this empty silence drives me insane

Chorus
Don’t build walls of quiet around your heart
Don’t shut me out and tear us apart
If you’re angry, tell me, let the words be real
‘Cause I can’t fix what you refuse to feel
We’re standing in the same room tonight
But your silence screams louder than a fight
Don’t leave me guessing what we’re going through
Talk to me, don’t punish me with you

Verse 2
The coffee’s cold, the hours move so slow
There’s a thousand things I wish I could know
Did I hurt you? Did I cross a line?
Or are you just leaving us behind?

I replay every moment in my head
Searching through the things we left unsaid
While you’re hiding in a world of stone
And somehow I’ve never felt so alone

Pre-Chorus
I can take the storm, I can take the rain
But this quiet cuts deeper than the pain

Chorus
Don’t build walls of quiet around your heart
Don’t shut me out and tear us apart
If you’re angry, tell me, let the words be real
‘Cause I can’t fix what you refuse to feel
We’re standing in the same room tonight
But your silence screams louder than a fight
Don’t leave me guessing what we’re going through
Talk to me, don’t punish me with you

Bridge
Love was never meant to be a prison cell
Where silence rings like a warning bell
We can heal the cracks if we both try
But not if you leave me wondering why

Final Chorus
Don’t build walls of quiet around your heart
Don’t let this distance become the dark
If there’s something broken, let me know
We can’t find the light if we won’t let it show
I’m reaching out, hoping you’ll come through
‘Cause I still believe in me and you
So open the door you’ve been hiding behind
And leave the silent treatment behind

Outro
No more walls of quiet…
No more words denied…
If we’re going to make it,
We have to stand side by side.
