From the recording The Beautiful Collapse
Lyrics
I hear it in the silence
Right after you speak
Like every word you choose
Leaves something underneath
You say we’re just tired
You say it’s been a week
But I feel something shifting
Every time you don’t look at me
We don’t raise our voices
We don’t make a scene
But nothing feels solid
When you’re standing next to me
Every time we get too close
Something underneath gives way
I don’t need another reason
I can feel it every day
We don’t have to call it broken
We don’t have to say the end
It’s already pulling us apart
And neither of us moves
You don’t reach for my hand
Like you used to do
You hesitate for half a second
Like you’re choosing something else to lose
I stopped asking questions
I stopped needing proof
I don’t need a reason
When I can feel the truth
You don’t have to leave
To be halfway gone
You just have to stop trying
For this to come undone
Every time we get too close
Something underneath gives way
I don’t need another reason
I can feel it every day
We don’t have to call it broken
We don’t have to say the end
It’s already pulling us apart
And neither of us moves
I don’t blame you
I don’t fight
I just feel it
Every night
We’re standing still
But nothing’s sound
Like we’re waiting
For the ground
Every time we get too close
Something underneath gives way
I don’t need another reason
I can feel it every day
We don’t have to call it broken
We don’t have to pretend
I can feel it pulling on us
Every time we say we’re fine
