Broken Calm Distance - Aliza
It's quiet but it hurts
Your name still sits on my tongue like smoke
But I don't say it, I just let it choke
We don't fight, now we just fade away
Like a sad song turning soft in the rain
I see your face in the spaces we made
But it feels like a picture starting to break
You're right there, but you're out of reach
And I hate how that silence sounds like peace
Cause we're too polite to fall apart
So we just drift in the dark
And I don't know what hurts the most
Missing you while you're still close
It's the broken calm distance
Between my heart and your hands
Like we're standing in the same room
But we don't understand
I'm not screaming, I'm not crying
I'm just quietly convinced
That love don't always leave in flames
Sometimes it leaves like this
In broken calm distance
I stop checking if you miss me too
Cause it's heavy when the answer's maybe you do
You say,"I'm fine" with that half-smile face
And I pretend that it don't feel like space
I remember when you pulled me in
Now I feel you pulling away again
It's not hate, it's not goodbye
It's just the slowest kind of decline
And we're too gentle to make a scene
So we bleed in between
I don't know how we got so far
From holding tight to letting go
It's the broken calm distance
Between my heart and your hands
Like we're standing in the same room
But we don't understand
I'm not screaming, I'm not crying
I'm just quietly convinced
That love don't always leave in flames
Sometimes it leaves like this
In broken calm distance
If I said I still want you
Would you move or would you freeze?
If I asked you to fight for it
Would you fight or just agree?
I miss the version of us
That didn't feel so far away
Now every touch is an echo
And every word is late
It's the broken calm distance
Between my heart and your hands
Like we're standing in the same room
But we don't understand
I'm not screaming, I'm not crying
I'm just quietly convinced
That love don't always leave in flames
Sometimes it leaves like this
In broken calm distance
Sometimes it leaves like this
Quiet
But it hurts
