The Way You Left lyrics

You didn't shout, you didn't cry You said: I'm sorry and passed by No broken glass, no scene to tell Just a calm, controlled farewell Sometimes quiet cuts the most When love turns into a ghost It wasn't that you left me It's the way you did Like I was nothing You had to carry with I could survive the truth But not the way you left I practiced speeches in my head But silence chose the words instead I watched you fade without a fight Losing you in open light I begged the room to make you stay But you were already far away It wasn't that you left me It's how you went No second look No consequence I'd take the blame I'd take the pain Just don't erase me on your way You packed the future in your pockets Left me standing in the past I could forgive the act of leaving But not how fast you made it last Some goodbyes don't scream or shatter They just quietly destroy It wasn't that you left me It's how I stayed Picking up pieces You walked away I'll heal, I know I'll catch my breath But I'll remember the way you left
