[Intro]
Footsteps echo down familiar streets, dust motes in the air glow like memories.
A soft rain begins, washing the storefronts where our laughter used to live.
[Verse 1]
I walk past the cafe where your voice used to float—now the chair holds its breath, empty and cold.
The bell on the door forgets its sound, and I realize the space between us grew louder than any word we told.
[Pre-Chorus]
If silence could speak, it would tell me your name bruise by bruise, echo by echo.
If time could forgive, it would release us from the pockets of yesterday.
[Chorus]
The quiet here swallows the noise of who we were, and I hear what was true: I loved you more than I admitted, more than goodbyes could hold.
The absence roars like the ocean in a bottle, and I finally understand the worth of your hold.
[Verse 2]
I pass the park where we carved our careless promises in bark that never healed.
Now the swings creak with a memory of your laughter, and the night air carries what we failed to reveal.
[Pre-Chorus]
If silence could speak, it would name each street where your shadow learned to stay.
If love could measure, it would weigh the lessons of letting go.
[Chorus]
The quiet here swallows the noise of who we were, and I hear what was true: I loved you more than I admitted, more than goodbyes could hold.
The absence roars like the ocean in a bottle, and I finally understand the worth of your hold.
[Bridge]
Now every doorway hums with what we never said, every corner keeps the breath we shared in life-size letters.
I gather the echoes like photographs, trying to keep you from fading into the shelves of time.
[Chorus]
The quiet here swallows the noise of who we were, and I hear what was true: I loved you more than I admitted, more than goodbyes could hold.
The absence roars like the ocean in a bottle, and I finally understand the worth of your hold.
[Outro]
Uzandifunaa ine ndikazati ndapita ine manfobe kwithu kusalawe ndine manfobe kwithu kusalawe
