Shadows Don’t Speak by Vexa Moon

Shadows Don’t Speak

Verse 1
You leave your words in the hallway light,
Say everything’s fine, then disappear at night.
Your eyes tell stories your mouth won’t keep,
Every truth tiptoes where the silence sleeps.
We sit so close, but you’re miles from me,
Like a locked-door heart with no spare key.

Pre-Chorus
I hear your breathing, but not your doubt,
All the loudest things you never say out loud.

Chorus
’Cause shadows don’t speak, they just stretch and grow,
Fill up the room with what we don’t know.
Every secret’s a wall you never breach,
Hands reaching out, but we’re out of reach.
Yeah, shadows don’t speak, they just watch us drift,
Heavy with words you never give.
Say what you won’t, or let me leave—
’Cause shadows don’t speak.
(They don’t speak)

Verse 2
You change the subject when it gets too real,
Smile like armor you never feel.
I memorize the space between your lies,
Every pause is louder than your alibis.
I’d rather hear the truth break my skin,
Than live in the quiet you’re drowning in.

Pre-Chorus
You say “It’s nothing,” but nothing hurts,
When it’s dressed in distance and unanswered words.

Bridge
If silence is safety, I’m not secure,
I need the truth even if it’s cruel.
I can’t read minds, I can’t heal ghosts,
I can’t love what you won’t show.
(Whoa-oh — say it now)

Chorus
Yeah, shadows don’t speak, but they poison the air,
Every step back says you’re not there.
I’m done guessing what you mean,
I’m done loving in between.
Yeah, shadows don’t speak, and neither do you,
I’m tired of chasing half a truth.
Say what you won’t, or set me free—
’Cause shadows don’t speak.
(They don’t speak)

Outro
When the lights go out and the truth stays weak,
I’ll walk away from the words you keep.
If love’s a language you won’t teach,
I won’t wait where shadows don’t speak.
