You said

You said you'd stay
You said I was enough
You said you cared
Your words were once music to my ears
Making my heart melt like ice in the summer sun
You told me day and night how much you cared
You said I was your world...
Your Stars in the sky...
Your light in the dark
The words you said filled me with joy.
The things you said even when you were silent
Silence...
Now that's all I hear
The tick tick tick TOCK of the clock
The seconds feel like hours
Silence is all I hear
All the things you said are playing through my head like a broken record
Tick tick tick TOCK
The things you said...
The way you cared
Actions speak louder than words
But all I hear now is silence
You said a lot with your words and even more with your actions
When you held me while I cried
When you laughed at my jokes
When you stayed up till 3 talking with me because I was too scared to sleep
You said a lot with your words, but you said more with your actions
But now all I hear is silence
You left ....
You're gone...
and there's nothing left to say
Nothing you say can make me want to stay
You said enough when you let me walk away
So now I say it's time for me to go my own way
Because this silence is all I hear
Tick... tick... tick... TOCK...
And that wretched clock
The tick tick tick tock says more than you now
But that's ok
Because I'm growing used to the things you said turning to silence in my head
