If you come back wearing that voice
I won't really know what to say
I'll nod and smile like strangers do
And slowly walk away
And I'll pretend you still exist
Somewhere in that borrowed face
And it hurts in a quiet way
That I can't grieve you too

Falling silently in the blackened night
There is no one left to tend my heart
Bleeding slowly in this freezing cold
Finding warmth within the snow

I kept quiet when you were close
'Cause it hurt more when you stayed
But no one told me you'd fade away
A whisper swallowed by the dark

If you come back wearing that voice
I won't really know what to say
I'll nod and smile like strangers do
And slowly walk away
And I'll pretend you still exist
Somewhere in that borrowed face
And it hurts in a quiet way
That I can't grieve you too
