Silence On For You

You left your coat on the chair But your hands were never there I kept the door unlocked Like you might drift back in Your side of the bed stayed cold I learned the shape, I learned the hold I wore that quiet like a ring Till it cut through skin And I kept waiting For a sign, for a sound But the room just held me Like it knew I was down I left the silence on for you I left the silence on for you You gave me silence, I called it some peace (peace, peace) I left the silence on for you I left the silence on for you You gave me silence, I called it some peace (peace, peace) Now the cups still sit in place One red mark, one empty space The fan keeps turning slow Like it’s trying to forget Your name hangs on my tongue Half a hurt, half begun I said “stay” to the dark And the dark said “bet” And I kept waiting For a sign, for a sound But the room just held me Like it knew I was down I left the silence on for you I left the silence on for you You gave me silence, I called it some peace (peace, peace) I left the silence on for you I left the silence on for you You gave me silence, I called it some peace (peace, peace) Maybe that’s the thing We both needed space Maybe grief can wear A softer face Still I hear your ghost In the gap between What you said out loud And what you meant to me I left the silence on for you I left the silence on for you You gave me silence, I called it some peace (peace, peace) I left the silence on for you I left the silence on for you You gave me silence, I called it some peace (peace, peace)
