Your Silence in My Place

Lyrics: Your Silence in My Place

[Verse 1] You left your silver ring beside the sink And folded up the letter I had read I watched the rain turn dust to ink While every promise circled in my head [Pre-Chorus] I held the door against the storm You chose the cold beyond my arms [Chorus] I loved you past the breaking line Past every warning dressed as grace You turned our vows to borrowed time And left your silence in my place Still, somewhere underneath the ache My heart remembers what you take [Instrumental: virtuosic lead guitar solo] [Verse 2] Your photograph is face down in a drawer The one from autumn by the old stone wall I keep rehearsing what I should have said As if a better sentence could undo it all [Pre-Chorus] I gave you every honest part You gave me back a guarded heart [Chorus] I loved you past the breaking line Past every warning dressed as grace You turned our vows to borrowed time And left your silence in my place Still, somewhere underneath the ache My heart remembers what you take [Instrumental: virtuosic harmonized lead guitar solo] [Instrumental: haunting solo piano interlude] [Verse 3] I found your note beneath the floorboard seam The ink had blurred, but I could read your name I miss the way you trusted me to dream And hate how love can leave without a flame [Bridge] If I could meet you where we first began I’d ask the truth before I took your hand [Final Chorus] I loved you past the breaking line Past every warning dressed as grace You turned our vows to borrowed time And left your silence in my place Still, somewhere underneath the ache My heart remembers what you take [Final Chorus] I loved you past the breaking line Past every warning dressed as grace You turned our vows to borrowed time And left your silence in my place Still, somewhere underneath the ache My heart remembers what you take [Outro] Your ring lies cold beside the sink The room grows still; I let it go One last note falls lower than I think And leaves the quiet holding what we know
