I Heard Goodbye - Aliza
You came in quiet
Eyes on the floor
Said we should talk
And I knew what for
Your fingers shook
Mine held too tight
You stared past me
Searching for a line
I heard goodbye
Though you never said it
Felt it fall in the space between us
Every breath was
A broken promise
You just sighed
But I heard goodbye
Yeah, I heard goodbye
You traced the pattern on my barest
Avoided every photograph we kissed
You called me friend like it was a test
I swallowed hurt, you called it what's best
I heard goodbye
Though you never said it
Felt it fall in the space between us
Every breath was
A broken promise
You just sighed
But I heard goodbye
Yeah, I heard goodbye
If you just spoken
If you just tried
I could have held you
We might have survived
Silence cut deeper
Than any hard truth
You left me guessing
But I always knew
I heard goodbye
Though you never said it
Felt it fall in the space between us
Every breath was
A broken promise
You just sighed
But I heard goodbye
Yeah, I heard goodbye
Now it's your echo in every room
A word unspoken, always in bloom
You never said it
But I know, I know
You closed your eyes
And I heard goodbye
