Lyric

You say you hate the silence

But you’re the one who made it loud

I learned to hold my breath again

When your truth came falling out

I keep your sweater folded

Still smells like winter rain

Funny how the softest things

Can teach you how to break

And I know

I should go

But you know

I won’t

Call me when your heart gets colder

I get softer when you leave

Every time you pull me closer

I forget what I believe

Say you’re fine, but I know better

You’re not someone I can keep

So call me when your heart gets colder

I get softer when you leave

You say we’re “almost perfect”

But almost never stays

You kiss me like a promise

Then look the other way

I try to draw the line but

You blur it with your name

Love is just a quiet war

That no one wants to claim

And you know

If you go

I’ll still hold

Your ghost

Call me when your heart gets colder

I get softer when you leave

Every time you pull me closer

I forget what I believe

Say you’re fine, but I know better

You’re not someone I can keep

So call me when your heart gets colder

I get softer when you leave

Maybe we were never us

Maybe we just needed touch

Maybe I was holding on

To something you were never wanting

Call me when your heart gets colder

I get softer when you leave

All the words we never told us

Still are cutting underneath

Say you’re fine, but I know better

You’re not someone I can keep

Call me when your heart gets colder—

I get softer when you leave
