LOVED YOU FROM THE SILENCE lyrics

I watch the dust fall in the afternoon light Remembering the way you used to shine so bright You were a star hanging high up in the room I was just a shadow hiding in the gloom I built you a throne out of glass and gold A story of perfection that I never told I loved you from the silence, too scared to make a sound I thought if I reached for the sky, I'd crash into the ground I painted you a masterpiece, too beautiful to hold And left myself behind the door, out in the bitter cold Now all I have is yesterday, and tears I never cried The ghost of my forever love, the one I had to hide The years drift away like leaves upon the stream But you are still the center of my every dream I thought I wasn't good enough to stand beside your grace I convinced myself I'd ruin the beauty on your face So I kept my lips sealed and swallowed every word A desperate little symphony that no one ever heard What if I had taken the chance? What if I made the leap? Would you be waking up with me, instead of in my sleep? But the pedestal I put you on was just too high to climb And my fear of falling short stole all our precious time A beautiful illusion, a sweet and tragic ache The greatest leap of faith that I was too afraid to take I'll love you from the silence, until my final breath My quiet, unforgettable, unbroken silhouette
