Lyrics:
BEFORE WE FORGOT OUR NAMES
--------------------------------------------------------------

There was a photograph
Still hanging by the door.
Two people smiling
Like we’d never need much more.

We used to leave
The windows open wide.
Back when laughter
Still lived inside.

I don’t remember
Which season changed…

Only that
Nothing looked the same.

[pre-chorus]
No one sees
The quiet breaking first.

It begins
Long before
The words can hurt.

We didn’t fall apart
In just one night.

We disappeared
A little
At a time.

You searched the bottle.

I searched
For reasons
To stay.

Somewhere between
“I love you”…

And “Don’t make me leave”…

We forgot
Our names.

The mirror knows
What makeup hides.

The hallway knows
Which tears stay dry.

The neighbors hear
The television loud.

We both learned
How silence sounds.

You never spoke
About your storms.

You only brought
Them home.

We didn’t lose
The love we knew.

We buried it
Beneath
The things
We never faced.

You carried anger.

I carried hope.

Both became
Too heavy
To hold.

One suitcase waits
Beside the bed.

One number
Still unread.

One voice keeps saying

“You should go.”

Another whispers…

“But he wasn’t always
This man.”

Maybe tomorrow
I’ll open that door.

Maybe tomorrow
I’ll ask
For more.

Not because
I stopped loving you.

But because
Love

Should never
Need

Fear.

If someone asks…

Tell them

We were never
Just a story
About violence.

We were a story

About silence…

That lasted

Far too long.
