Every Word I Didn't Say

Every word I didn’t say to you
Still lingers where the silence grew
Like shadows that refuse to fade
Echoes caught in the mess we made
I built a bridge with broken planks
And filled the gaps with empty thanks
But the silence it hums
It sings
It stays
In the corners of nights and the edges of days
Every word I left behind
Still lives in the quiet
Still rewinds
I wrote you letters in my mind
Folded them
But never signed
The air is heavy
Thick with regret
A weight I carry
Can't forget
The wind it whispers what I won’t
The heart it aches for what I don’t
And the silence it hums
It sings
It stays
In the corners of nights and the edges of days
Every word I left behind
Still lives in the quiet
Still rewinds
