vanny goodfella - the quiet after the storm lyrics

(verse 1)
the silence now is louder than the slamming of the door
a hollow, empty echo where your laughter was before
i’m tracing every crack inside this foundation we had built
not from a sudden tremor, but from slow and careless tilt
i thought that we were safe here, in this shelter from the rain
but you were letting water in, and calling it champagne

(chorus)
’cause we broke up long before you еver walked away
the day i saw thе truth behind the gentle things you’d say
oh, we didn’t end with fire, no dramatic, final fight
we ended in the ashes of a trust you burned too bright
and the cruelest part of losing you, the bitterest regret
is knowing i deserved more than the disrespect i let
you give to me, believing it was just a fleeting spell
now all that’s left is knowing you didn’t love me well

(verse 2)
the promises you whispered in the shadow of the night
they feel like simple riddles now, stripped of all their light
you took the open garden of my heart and turned it dry
and when i asked you why the leaves were dying, you would lie
you said that my suspicions were the product of my mind
and made me feel unworthy of the clarity i’d find
the way you’d look right through me, or dismiss my every plea—
that wasn’t love, my darling, that was mastery
(chorus)
’cause we broke up long before you ever walked away
the day i saw the truth behind the gentle things you’d say
oh, we didn’t end with fire, no dramatic, final fight
we ended in the ashes of a trust you burned too bright
and the cruelest part of losing you, the bitterest regret
is knowing i deserved more than the disrespect i let
you give to me, believing it was just a fleeting spell
now all that’s left is knowing you didn’t love me well

(bridge)
they say that love is sacrifice, a willing, open hand
but you were only taking, i could never understand
that honesty wasn’t something you forgot, or let slip by
it was a choice you made each morning when you looked me in the eye
and a love without respect is just a beautiful disguise
a heavy weight of velvet covering a pack of lies

(chorus)
’cause we broke up long before you ever walked away
the day i saw the truth behind the gentle things you’d say
oh, we didn’t end with fire, no dramatic, final fight
we ended in the ashes of a trust you burned too bright
and the cruelest part of losing you, the bitterest regret
is knowing i deserved more than the disrespect i let
you give to me, believing it was just a fleeting spell
now all that’s left is knowing you didn’t love me well
(outro)
so i’m closing up the book now, i’m turning out the light
it wasn’t a good ending, but the ending feels like right
and maybe the first step of healing is to finally see
that breaking up with you was me finally choosing me
oh, i’m finally choosing me
