I'm sorry my love is a stubborn silence and not the singing of the rain. I'm sorry all I do is stare and hope for you to hear what's in my head. Sometimes I forget that people aren't books, And that we have more than just hearts in our chests. Sometimes I'd rather bleed than speak, And hope that you don't mind the mess. I see now that life is full Of people leaving. And listening to them saying goodbye won't make them stay. But my voice has always felt like an echo in a cave. And Courage is a word I have yet to define. But if you give me a "next time" I'll try Because you saw me when I was a ghost - And I saw you and felt like I was home. Maybe my silence can be The echo in your bones.
