Tears Over Us - Aliza
You said you just needed distance
So I backed away from your touch
Kept your picture face down on the table
Told myself I wouldn't miss you this much
Stared at the cracks in the ceiling
Like they might spell out a sign
I keep replaying our last conversation
Pausing right before you changed your mind
Now there are tears over us
Falling where the trust used to be
All of the words that we saved
Turned into waves crashing over me
You chose the silence instead of the two of us
Now all I've got are tears over us
Your side of the bed stays empty
But I still sleep on the edge
I hear you laughing down the hallway
Turn around it's just a voice in my head
Your shirt still hangs in the closet
I swear it moves when I breathe
I try to hate you enough to forget you
But love doesn't let me leave
So there are tears over us
Falling where the trust used to be
All of the plans that we made
Washed down the drain
Running out of me
You chose the silence instead of the two of us
Now all I've got are tears over us
Did you ever mean it
When you said I was your home
Or was I just a season
Some place you could leave
When it got cold
I'm drowning in the questions
You're sleeping through the flood
You walk away so spotless
I'm stained with every drop of love
Still there are tears over us
Falling where the trust used to be
All of the nights that we gave
Fade into grey slipping out of reach
You chose the silence instead of the two of us
Now all I've got are tears over us
One last tear over us
I'll let your name disappear
I'll clean your shadow from my mirror
But for now
For now it's just tears over us
