I Hurt Gently Now - Aliza
Quiet room
Dim light
Your name on my mind tonight
No more storms
No more fights
Just echoes in the night
Used to cry like thunder
Every time you'd leave
Every word between us
Felt too sharp to breathe
Now the tears fall softer
Like a morning rain
Still feel the same old ache
But it whispers, not in pain
I thought love was loud
Like crashing waves somehow
But all that's left of us
Is silence now
I hurt gently now
Like a fading song
Like a song we used to play
When your arms were around
No more breaking down
No more screaming out
Just a quiet kind of blue
I hurt gently now
Your cup's still on the sink
From the night you left
I keep forgetting
And I hate to get
Every little moment
Feels a bit too wide
Like the world got bigger
When you said goodbye
I don't chase the pain
Or call your name
I just let it fall like summer rain
I hurt gently now
Like a fading song
Like a song we used to play
When your arms were around
No more breaking down
No more screaming out
Just a quiet kind of blue
I hurt gently now
Maybe there's this healing
Maybe there's this peace
When the love that held you slowly finds release
Not every good die has to leave a scar
Some just fade away like a distant star
I hurt gently now
But I'm standing proud
Every tear that falls tonight
Doesn't make a sound
Morning sun through the blinds
Falling on the floor
I still miss you
But my light before
Is a softer truth
I'm living somehow
Love still lingers
I hurt gently now
