You Left Me Softly - Aliza
Tore close without shaking
No tears, no fight
Every quiet heartbeat
Filled that night
You didn't raise your voice, didn't slam the door
Just said you felt it anymore
Your eyes were calm, your tone was low
Like leaving me was easy to show
You touched my hand and let it go
Like something gentle meant no blue
But somehow silence cuts more deeply
When someone leaves you softly
You left me softly
Without a sound
No broken plates, no screaming loud
You left me softly
But it still broke me
A quiet goodbye that still holds me
Your coffee cup still on the sink
I stare, it's lumber than I think
We talked about staying friends
Like love can fade without an end
No amber you words to help me heal
Just empty space and how I feel
I really know when nights get lonely
As I was shattered softly
You left me softly
Without a sound
No shattered glass on the ground
You left me softly
But I still believe
From the quiet way you let me be
Maybe if you'd scream or slam the door
I could have blamed you even more
But gentle open eyes are hard to see
How something quiet destroyed me
Tore close without shaking
Cold and lonely
Every quiet heartbeat
Left me softly
