Lyrics

He stopped the morning kisses
And worked a few more nights
His calls were getting numbered
It seemed something wasn't right
So I asked if he still loved me
He was slow with his reply
That pause before he answered "yes"
Still echoes in my mind

In that moment of silence
We paid our last respects
A love we lived with for so long
Had now been laid to rest
Though he tried to lie to me
The truth was loud and clear
That moment of silence
Was all I had to hear

I told him it was over
I can't live with empty words
Or stay and be deceived
By what I wish I heard
My voice began to shake
Behind tears I tried to hide
There was a long hesitation
Before I said goodbye

In that moment of silence
We paid our last respects
A love we lived with for so long
Had now been laid to rest
All the doubts in my mind
Rang out loud and clear
That moment of silence
Was all I had to hear

I still replay the memories of all the time we spent
I think about the silence and what that might've meant
Uncertainty, anxiety, lies, or a painful truth
Silence can speak volumes, more than words can ever do

In that moment of silence
We paid our last respects
A love we lived with for so long
Has now been laid to rest
I think about that final night
I hope I wasn't wrong
Cause that moment of silence
Is all that lingers on
