Silent Goodbye Tears - Aliza
You said
Take care of yourself
Like it was nothing
Keys in your trembling hand
Door barely touching
You left your sweater on my chair like you might come back for it
Your name's still glowing on my phone but there's nothing left to send
I hear your echo in my hall every step a memory
I'm staring down the broken glass of every word you said to me
Silent goodbye tears
Falling in the dark where you can't see
All the forevers that we swore
Running down my cheeks it didn't slam the door
You just let it close and disappear
Now I'm drowning in the quiet in these silent goodbye tears
Your side of the bed still warm I keep reaching like a habit
Your playlist spinning in my room but I can't sing along to it
Your shadows on the closet door wearing that old faded shirt
Guess we grew out of each other
But I'm the only one who hurts
Silent goodbye tears
Falling in the dark where you can't see
All the forevers that we swore
Running down my cheeks it didn't slam the door
You just let it close and disappear
Now I'm drowning in the quiet in these silent goodbye tears
Was it me?
Was it you?
Was it time we never noticed?
All the little almost fights, all the half-heartedness
Fine moments
You were already walking out
Long before you found your keys
You just left me here to figure out how
To say goodbye to what we used to be
Silent goodbye tears
Falling in the dark where you can't see
All the forevers that we swore
Running down my cheeks it didn't slam the door
You just let it close and disappear
I still reach for you in the night but all that's here
Are these silent goodbye tears
Sigh from the hallway on my floor
One last shadow then it's gone
I whisper your name into the air
It flows to fade
And I'm still here
With silent goodbye tears
You said
Take care of yourself
Take care of yourself
