Silent Ring

Verse 1
The walls start movin', the room gets small,
Air turns heavy, can't breathe at all.
Phone in my hand, your name on the screen,
A thousand miles apart though you're right in between.

Every ring sounds longer than before,
Hope keeps knocking on a locked front door.
I'm not asking you to save my soul,
Just answer me before I lose control.

Pre-Chorus
When the world gets loud, I need one voice.
When everything breaks, I need one choice.
Instead I'm staring at another "Read,"
Wondering why your silence cuts so deep.

Chorus
You say you're my wife... where are you tonight?
When the walls cave in and I can't find the light.
When my chest gets tight and my mind won't slow,
Why am I fighting this battle alone?

Every missed call echoes through my head,
Every unread word leaves another thread.
I'm reaching for the one who's supposed to hold me tight...
But all I hear is another silent night.

Verse 2
Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm scared,
Maybe my heart just knows you're somewhere else.
I hear you laughing through the other end,
While I'm falling apart and trying to pretend.

You smile in a way I remember so well,
The same one you gave me before everything fell.
Now I wonder who gets that look these days,
While I'm stuck counting all the empty space.

Bridge
Love ain't perfect... I know that's true.
But it shouldn't feel like I'm chasing you.
Marriage ain't just rings and vows,
It's answering when your person needs you now.

I don't need miracles.
I don't need the moon.
I just needed my wife...
And I needed you soon.

Final Chorus
You say forever... I still believe.
But forever gets heavy when you never reach me.
I'm not asking you to fix every scar,
Just don't feel so impossibly far.

If you still love me, don't leave me guessing.
Don't make silence become the message.
'Cause a heart can break without making a sound...
When the one it calls for never comes around.

Outro
The phone finally goes dark.
The room finally stands still.
And the quiet gets so loud...
I can hear my own heart asking...
"Was I ever enough?"
