歌詞

Glass on the table

Light in the hall

Phone face down

No missed call

I kept my breathing

Even and low

Made it look easy

Letting you go

You read my silence

Like I was clear

You saw no warning

You felt no fear

I wore the evening

Soft on my face

Held back the wanting

Folded it safe

Nobody asked

So I did not tell

I made a room

Where I could disappear well

Nobody reached

Past the door

I learned to need

A little less more

You saw the calm

Not the cost

Saw what stayed

Not what I lost

Nobody checked

The quiet in me

I made the hurting

Too small to see

You saw the calm

Not the cost

Let me sit there

Soft and lost

I looked alright

From where you stood

And that was enough

To call it good

I made your leaving

Gentle to hold

Gave you a story

Easy and cold

Said I was tired

Said I was fine

Kept all the asking

Under my tongue line

I could have told you

Look at me twice

I could have wanted

Without acting nice

But I had practiced

Being no weight

Smiling at doors

That opened too late

Nobody asked

What I did not say

I made my hunger

Look far away

Nobody noticed

The ache was still new

I hid the wanting

Even from you

You saw the calm

Not the cost

Saw what stayed

Not what I lost

Nobody checked

The quiet in me

I made the hurting

Too small to see

You saw the calm

Not the cost

Let me sit there

Soft and lost

I looked alright

From where you stood

And that was enough

To call it good

Maybe I wanted

A hand on my sleeve

Maybe I wanted

You not to leave

Maybe I wanted

A name for the bruise

Something less empty

Than letting you choose

I was not healed

I was polite

I kept the room warm

I swallowed the light

I was not free

I was composed

I only learned

How little showed

You saw the calm

Not the cost

Saw the surface

Not the frost

Nobody checked

The quiet in me

I made the hurting

Too small to see

You saw the calm

Not the cost

Called me steady

Called me soft

I looked alright

From where you stood

And that was enough

To call it good

Glass on the table

Light almost gone

I look the same

When something is wrong
