Silence came before you left It settled in the room Some goodbyes don't slam the door They slowly steal the truth There was a night the weight collapsed Heavier than I could hold Your voice never crossed the distance Where I was breaking alone How many cigarettes burned to ash How many coffees went cold How many songs played in empty rooms While I learned to grow I left behind the things that tasted like you Though sometimes I still crave When rain falls softly on the window I remember the smoke and the way it stayed You're still living in the same life Like time never touched your skin I had to grow in the dark alone With everything caving in No anger left No blame to give Just clarity in the end Some people enter your story So you can learn how to stand The streets are still the same at night But I don't wait there anymore 2 AM doesn't call my name Like it did before I survived the storm you never saw And somewhere through that pain I found a version of myself That stayed After the rain
