Lyrics

The light still hangs where laughter died
The echoes drift where we once tried
The walls remember what we said
And dreams still hum inside my head
No sudden storm, no shattered vow
Just distance growing, here and now
Your voice still lingers, warm and kind
A ghost that love left far behind
You loved the calm my hands could give
A steady place where dreams could live
But comfort turned to something cold
The fire dimmed, the story old
You smiled and said, We’ll be all right
But something faded in your eyes
I felt the silence start to rise
Beneath your sweet, quiet lies

Quiet lies, they sound like care
They hold you close, then vanish there
You gave me words that soothed my heart
While planning where the next would start
Soft deception, dressed in grace
No anger shown upon your face
I built your world, I held you high
You learned to need the lullaby
But love’s reflection slowly dies
And all that’s left are quiet lies

You once reached out, now drift away
A little further every day
I gave you more, you gave me less
Till giving lost its tenderness
Your vanity, I thought divine
Was just a mirror, never mine
And when I looked, I saw disguise
The truth beneath your quiet lies
The house is still, the night is wide
Your memory hums, then steps aside
No bitter words, no last goodbyes
Just echoes of your quiet lies
I close the door, I dim the light
Accept the peace that ends the fight
The silence holds, the moment sighs
And fades away, with quiet lies
