Song Description

Lying by omission is sometimes the hardest betrayal

Lyrics

I found your jacket on the armchair with a ticket in the sleeve,
A night you never mentioned, just a story left to weave.
And I laughed like it was nothing, though it cut me like a blade --
Funny how the truth comes knocking in the mess that someone made.

Your friend let slip a memory of a place you said you'd never been,
And the silence in your answer told me where the cracks begin.
It's the quiet that betrays you, not the words you try to choose --
It's the pieces that fall out of place that show me what I lose.

(Chorus)
It's what you didn't say that keeps me up at night,
The shadows in the corners where you hide things out of sight.
I shouldn't learn by accident the things you pushed away --
It's not the lies you told me, it's what you didn't say.

I found a photo in your pocket of a moment I never knew,
A smile you never shared with me, a truth that never grew.
And I felt a little foolish, like the last one in the line,
Picking up the pieces of a story that wasn't mine.

(Bridge)
I don't need perfection, I just need you to be real,
To trust me with the moments that you're scared to let me feel.
But every hidden chapter makes the distance start to grow --
And love can't live in shadows where the truth is scared to go.

(Chorus)
It's what you didn't say that keeps me up at night,
The shadows in the corners where you hide things out of sight.
I shouldn't learn by accident the things you pushed away --
It's not the lies you told me, it's what you didn't say.

So tell me where we're standing, tell me what is left to save,
'Cause I'm tired of finding secrets in the spaces that you gave.
If we're meant to walk together, then the truth must lead the way --
No more lying by omission, no more things you didn't say.
