The Silence in My Heart Lyrics

I sit alone, the guilt runs deep

There's a terrible secret I keep

Her trust is like gold, I can't lie

If I tell her, she may well die

The nights grow cold, the secret steals my air

I lie beside her, knowing how much she cares

Her gentle breathing, peaceful and so kind

But in my soul, there's no peace left to find

Oh, the silence in my heart won't let go

With each step I take the burden grows

I see her smile, so sweet and pure

But I'm a fool, cowardly, and unsure

The whiskey burns, but it won't numb the pain

Regret's a song that drives one insane

I look at her, so unaware, so true

And wonder if she'd stay if she just knew

Oh, the silence in my heart won't let go

With each step I take the burden grows

I see her smile, so sweet and pure

But I'm a fool, cowardly, and unsure

The whiskey burns, but it won't numb the pain

Regret's a song that drives one insane

I look at her, so unaware, so true

And wonder if she'd stay if she just knew

I trace the line where my ring meets my hand

A vow I broke—yet I can hardly stand

I bear this weight alone, yet fear her tears

So, I choke back the truth, drowning in my fears

Is there mercy in a love like hers?

Or would the truth just make it worse?

To hold it in, or let it show—

The hardest choice I'll ever know

Oh, the silence in my heart won't let go

With each step I take the burden grows

I see her smile, so sweet and pure

But I'm a fool, cowardly, and unsure

And here I sit, as shadows claim the night

Unsure if wrong could ever turn right

One last deep breath, I hold it tight

As silence fills the space in fading light
