i still wonder if you'd heard them
penned down and sealed away
everything i could never bring myself to say
(everything that was left unsaid)

and in every silence
(every heartbeat)
i heard all the thoughts
i knew you'd never get to hear

sometimes i dream of you
and i dream of everything you left behind
and i dream of everything that could've been
and i dream of everything that i never got to say
(some days i'd wake up and want nothing more than to go back to sleep)
(i could still see you in my dreams)

and i listened to the silence
and all i heard was you
(you lingered like an afterthought of all the words left unspoken)
