Verse 1:
The room still breathes the memory of you,
as if the world has frozen still.
The light falls soft on empty chairs
where you once promised me your love.
My trembling hands trace all the walls,
searching for a trace of you.
And in the shadow of my breathing
I hear your name as if it’s new.

Pre-Chorus:
And the days feel like fading films,
and the nights are heavy too.
I keep on walking through our moments
that I can’t hold onto.

Chorus:
Between you and the silence
falls a tear that slowly breaks,
like a wave along the shoreline
begging one last time to stay.
And when the world stands still a moment,
you’re the best that stayed with me.
Between you and the silence
I find love in everything unseen.

Verse 2:
We used to walk through pouring rain
as if no storm could touch our hearts.
And even when my world was breaking,
your hands could always pull me back.
But even brightest stars will fall
when the sky can’t carry them.
And letting go was all I had,
though it tore me piece by piece.

Pre-Chorus:
Now I wander through an empty town
with your echo as my guide.
Every step I try to take
reaches back to what has died.

Chorus:
Between you and the silence
falls a tear that slowly breaks,
like a wave along the shoreline
begging one last time to stay.
And when the world stands still a moment,
you’re the best that stayed with me.
Between you and the silence
I find love in everything unseen.

Bridge:
If the wind should bring your voice again,
even just for one small breath,
I’d close my eyes and let you in
to warm the wounds you left behind.

Final Chorus (soft, rising):
Between you and the silence
I am everything I was.
Your love still keeps me grounded,
my beginning and my last.
And even as I move ahead
without your guiding light,
Between you and the silence
I still find you… in every fading night.
