Lyric

I wrote my longing in the silver moonlight

Pretending I’m fine you’re not here tonight

You said you’re busy, forgot to care

I said it’s okay, just a little lonely air

I learned to stop asking if you still love me

Still whisper “goodnight” out of old memory

Not for you to read or see

Just to calm the mess in me

Goodnight, I won’t wait anymore

Your silence said what words were for

The message stays unread once more

And I’m standing outside your heart’s closed door

Goodnight, I still love you though

Won’t ask again if you still know

The world’s too loud, but I’ve grown still

One gentle word ends this pull I feel

It’s not that I’ve nothing to say

But words can’t reach you anyway

I’ll take a step back, stay kind, stay far

You go your way, I’ll guard my scar

Maybe you’ll miss me one day

Maybe you won’t at all

But tonight I won’t lose sleep for your call

Goodnight, I’m truly tired now

My silence is my softest vow

You won’t look back, I already know—

Still I whisper to the dark, goodnight for sure

Goodnight, I won’t wait anymore

Your silence said what words were for

The message stays unread once more

And I’m standing outside your heart’s closed door

Goodnight, I still love you though

Won’t ask again if you still know

The world’s too loud, but I’ve grown still

One gentle word ends this pull I feel

The moon won’t understand my pain

And you don’t have to explain

This “goodnight” isn’t meant for you

It’s for the me who still loves you too
