Lyric

We didn’t fight, we didn’t cry

Just learned to pass each other by

Your hand in mine felt almost right

Like holding air, like holding light

No sudden fall, no shattered scene

Just space growing in between

Broken, softly

Almost kindly

Broken, softly, day by day

Nothing left we had to say

Love didn’t scream, it didn’t burn

It just forgot how to return

You stayed close, but felt so far

Like words that miss their meaning part

Broken, softly, out of sight

Fading gently into night

We talked about the weather more

Avoided things we felt before

Your smile stayed, but changed its tone

Like it was learned, not fully known

We kept it calm, we kept it neat

While something slipped beneath our feet

Broken, softly

No one noticed

Broken, softly, nothing wrong

But somehow we didn’t belong

No blame to place, no fault to find

Just love running out of time

I tried to feel, you tried too

But trying’s not what lovers do

Broken, softly, thin and slow

Like a song you used to know

I packed my things, you watched me leave

Like it was always meant to be

No tears fell, no words were said

Just silence tying loose ends

We smiled once, a practiced art

Then walked away with lighter hearts

Broken, softly

Still it hurt me

Broken, softly, still I ache

Not from loss, but small mistakes

The ones we made by staying still

When love was turning into will

If endings come without a sound

They still can shake the solid ground

Broken, softly, leaving marks

In all the quiet parts

Now time moves on, and so do I

I laugh, I sleep, I’m mostly fine

But sometimes when the room is bare

I feel the shape you left in air

I don’t miss you like before

I miss what we were reaching for

Broken, softly

Let it be

Broken, softly, I accept

Not every promise has to last

We didn’t end in flames or fear

Just learned that love was disappearing

If this was all we had to give

Then this was how we had to live

Broken, softly, set apart

Still gentle on my heart
