Broken Without Noise - Aliza
Lamplight barely glowing
Walls are closing in
Every quiet heartbeat
Feels paper thin
I didn't scream your name when you walked away
I didn't beg you to make you stay
I stood there frozen, watched you go
Letting you leave without letting it show
No shattered glass, no slamming doors
Just empty space across the floors
You said goodbye in a careful tone
And left me breaking all alone
I'm broken without noise
No one hears
No crashing waves
Just silent tears
I'm broken without noise
In the midnight blue
Every lonely heartbeat
Still holds you
We're calm face through the day
Laugh at the right time, look okay
But when the room goes dark and still
The quiet feels impossible to fill
Your sweater's gone but I still feel
The outline of what was real
All I really know when lights lose glow
Is silent pain cuts slow
I'm broken without noise
No one sees
No thunderstorm
Just quiet tears
I'm broken without noise
I'm just city lights
Every lonely heartbeat
Breaks in the night
And maybe if I had screamed your name
Or placed the blame it wouldn't feel the same
But gentle endings leave no choice
Just a shattered heart without a noise
Light finally fading
Shadows pull
Every quiet heartbeat
Broken without noise
