Broken, Softly

歌詞

We didn’t fight, we didn’t cry Just learned to pass each other by Your hand in mine felt almost right Like holding air, like holding light No sudden fall, no shattered scene Just space growing in between Broken, softly Almost kindly Broken, softly, day by day Nothing left we had to say Love didn’t scream, it didn’t burn It just forgot how to return You stayed close, but felt so far Like words that miss their meaning part Broken, softly, out of sight Fading gently into night We talked about the weather more Avoided things we felt before Your smile stayed, but changed its tone Like it was learned, not fully known We kept it calm, we kept it neat While something slipped beneath our feet Broken, softly No one noticed Broken, softly, nothing wrong But somehow we didn’t belong No blame to place, no fault to find Just love running out of time I tried to feel, you tried too But trying’s not what lovers do Broken, softly, thin and slow Like a song you used to know I packed my things, you watched me leave Like it was always meant to be No tears fell, no words were said Just silence tying loose ends We smiled once, a practiced art Then walked away with lighter hearts Broken, softly Still it hurt me Broken, softly, still I ache Not from loss, but small mistakes The ones we made by staying still When love was turning into will If endings come without a sound They still can shake the solid ground Broken, softly, leaving marks In all the quiet parts Now time moves on, and so do I I laugh, I sleep, I’m mostly fine But sometimes when the room is bare I feel the shape you left in air I don’t miss you like before I miss what we were reaching for Broken, softly Let it be Broken, softly, I accept Not every promise has to last We didn’t end in flames or fear Just learned that love was disappearing If this was all we had to give Then this was how we had to live Broken, softly, set apart Still gentle on my heart
