Your Absence Hits Me - ArlenaZara
You don't raise your voice, you don't slam the door
But every quiet moment hurts me more
Your words are gone, but the space remains
Like a stone that never rains
You sit beside me, miles away
I read your face, but it won't say
What changed, what broke, where we went wrong
Our love turned quiet for so long
I ask myself what I missed in you
When love stops speaking, what did I do?
I'm bruised by silence, by everything you don't say
Your absence hits me, even when you stay
No fighting, no violence, just distance pulling us apart
I'm learning how much it hurts to be bruised by silence
I fill the gaps with maybes and blame
Convince myself I'm the reason you changed
I'd rather hear the truth out loud than drown in this quiet now
Waiting for signs in the smallest things
A text, a touch, a wedding ring
But hope feels heavy, thin, entire
Like a match that's already fired
You look at me like I'm almost gone
Like you left long before you moved on
I'm bruised by silence, by everything you don't say
Your absence hits me, even when you stay
No fighting, no violence, just distance pulling us apart
I'm learning how much it hurts to be bruised by silence
If love is strong, it should make a sound
Not leave me breaking without a wound
I'd take the truth, I'd take the pain
Anything but this quiet rain
I don't need perfect, I just need real
I just need to know what you feel
I'm bruised by silence
This thought of every night, your quiet goodbye
Is killing me inside, no words to fight
With no tears to start, just slow goodbye
Scars from a love that fell apart
If this is how you let me go
Just say it once, I need to know
Don't leave me here half alive
Bruised by silence
