I lost my voice and that’s not a metaphor
I thought I’d never be able to sing anymore
my whole world crashed around me
I was lost
for the thing I never set out to do in the first place
this thing I just did because I could
had become so important

I lost you and that’s not a metaphor
I thought you’d always be around and you’re not here anymore
you snuck into my life in spite of me
I never intended to let you in
I just did it because you were there
and you became so important

you never really know what you have until it’s gone
and you could never prepare anyway

I lost my voice and that’s not a metaphor
just when you needed to hear from me I couldn’t talk anymore
your whole world crashed around you
and you were lost
the person you needed most let you down
you didn’t understand
that silence became so important

you never really know what you have until it’s gone
and you could never prepare anyway
