歌詞

I do not check

The door anymore

I know the shape

Of an empty floor

I do not keep

Your name in my mouth

I let the room

Turn itself down

I do not shake

When memory comes

I let it pass

Under my tongue

Nothing is loud

Nothing is new

But something low

Still knows you

It did not leave

It only got quiet

It took my breath

And learned to hide it

No apology

No final light

No clean goodbye

Made the past right

The want stayed low

The anger cooled

I stopped waiting

I stopped looking through

I do not call

The old room home

But some part of me

Still sits alone

I carry less

Than I carried then

But less is not

The same as end

I do not call it healing

I do not call it done

Some things stop burning

And still weigh on

I do not chase it

I do not feed it

But I know where it lives

When the room goes still

Not gone

Just quiet

Not gone

Just quiet

Silence is not absence

Calm is not clean

I learned to stand still

Around what I mean

The hurt makes no weather

The want makes no sound

But every now and then

It turns around

I am not waiting

I am not pleading

I only know

What stayed breathing

I do not call it healing

I do not call it done

Some things stop burning

And still weigh on

I do not chase it

I do not feed it

But I know where it lives

When the room goes still

Not gone

Just quiet

Not gone

Just quiet

I do not wait

I do not plead

I carry less

Than I used to need

But something low

Still knows my name

Not gone

Just quiet
