Quietly

The house is quiet like it knows I shouldn’t be awake Every thought I tried to lose Is standing in my way I told myself I’d be okay If I just gave it time But time just keeps your shadow Living rent free in my mind I don’t say your name But it still finds me Alone in the dark I’m still holding on To something I should leave I let you go with words But not with me I don’t chase the past I don’t beg or plead I still hold on Quietly I see your face in moments That don’t belong to you Like every broken habit I don’t know how to lose I don’t miss the way it hurt Or the nights we fell apart I miss who I was with you Before I learned my heart I don’t reach out I don’t pretend But I feel you Now and then I’m still holding on To something I should leave I let you go with words But not with me I don’t chase the past I don’t beg or plead I still hold on Quietly If loving you was a lesson I learned it too well Cause I carry the meaning Even after the spell I don’t need you to come back I don’t need you to stay I just need this feeling To fade I’m still holding on Just enough to feel I let you go out loud But inside it’s real I don’t fight the truth I just let it be I still hold on Quietly
