You only feel the silence when it's loud in your head
Only miss the warmth when the feeling's dead
You let it drift away like it's nothing at all
Now you're reaching out, but there's no one to call
You only see the damage when it's already
Only chase the shadow when it starts to run
You had it in your hands, but you let it fade
Now you're tracing back every move you made And it's heavy in your chest now
Every word you never said Yeah, it's pulling like a landslide
Every step you never left You only try to get in touch when it's too far gone
Only sing the right words when the moment's done
You only feel that fire when it's burning out
Only know what love is when you live without
You only reach across when the space is wide
Only see the truth when there's nowhere to hide
You only try to get in touch when it slips away
When it slips away
You only hear the echo when the room's gone still
Only fight for something when you lose the thrill
You thought it would wait, thought it wouldn't change
Now you're standing there and it feels so strange
You only learn the meaning when it's out of sight
Only hold it close in the dead of night
Every second wasted coming back around
Now you're digging deep, but it can't be found
And it's breaking in your voice now Every line you couldn't say
Yeah, it's crashing like an ocean Pulling you away
You only try to get in touch when it's too far gone
Only sing the right words when the moment's done
You only feel that fire when it's burning out
Only know what love is when you live without
You only reach across when the space is wide
Only see the truth when there's nowhere to hide
You only try to get in touch when it slips away When it slips away
If I could turn it back, would it be the same?
Or just another version of a different pain
Now I'm calling out, but it fades in the air Like you were never really there
You only try to get in touch when it's too far gone
Only sing the right words when the moment's done
You only feel that fire when it's burning out
Only know what love is when you live without
You only reach across when the space is wide
Only see the truth when there's nowhere to hide
You only try to get in touch when it slips away When you let it slip away
Now you're calling out too late Trying just to get in touchmore
