Lyrics

Verse 1
You packed your words before your clothes
And left me guessing what went wrong
Now every room inside this house
Feels like it knew before I did
I’m not asking you to lie
Or promise what you cannot give
But after everything we carried
We deserve a better ending than this
Don’t make me read your leaving
From the distance in your eyes
Sit beside me for a moment
And let honesty decide
Chorus
Don’t leave it in silence
Don’t let goodbye speak alone
Tell me where your heart went missing
Tell me when this stopped being home
Don’t leave it in silence
If there’s something left, let it breathe
And if you truly cannot love me
Have enough love left to speak
Don’t let all these years between us
End with nothing left to say
Don’t leave it in silence
Don’t let it end this way
Verse 2
I know I have made mistakes
And I won’t place them all on you
There were times I heard your hurting
But was too wounded to come through
Maybe pride became our language
Maybe comfort made us blind
Maybe we kept postponing healing
Till there was no better time
But I still remember laughter
That no stranger could replace
And the man who used to reach for me
Before resentment took his place
Chorus
Don’t leave it in silence
Don’t let goodbye speak alone
Tell me where your heart went missing
Tell me when this stopped being home
Don’t leave it in silence
If there’s something left, let it breathe
And if you truly cannot love me
Have enough love left to speak
Don’t let all these years between us
End with nothing left to say
Don’t leave it in silence
Don’t let it end this way

Lead: I can survive an honest answer
Background: Tell her the truth
Lead: I can face what I must lose
Background: Don’t turn away
Lead: But I cannot heal from questions
You are too afraid to name
If we’re finished, say it gently
If we’re wounded, let us change
I won’t beg you to remain here
Where your heart no longer stays
But don’t reduce a lifetime
To a door that closes in my face
Final Chorus
Don’t leave it in silence
Give our history one last word
Let me know if love is buried
Or if love can still be heard
Don’t leave it in silence
Lay the whole truth at my feet
I would rather cry from knowing
Than keep dying from belief
If there’s one more chance between us
Let us meet it face to face
Don’t leave it in silence
Don’t let it end this way
Outro — Restrained Ad-libs
Say something, baby
Even if it breaks me
Don’t leave me
With a hundred endings
And no truth
If this love must end
Let it end honestly
Not this way
