Phantom Limb Songtext
von Monolith

The day you stopped calling
I didn′t notice it right away
At first, it was just a little less
A missed goodnight, a shorter conversation
A few more pauses in your texts
Life was busy, that's what I told myself
People change, schedules get in the way
But looking back, I think my heart already knew
Something was slipping away

Love doesn′t always leave with a goodbye
Sometimes it disappears one call at a time


The day you stopped calling
The silence got louder than your voice
No big fight, no dramatic ending
Just a slow and quiet choice
The day you stopped calling
A part of me stopped sleeping too
'Cause every ring I waited for
Was another reminder of losing you
The day you stopped calling

I remember staring at my phone
Like I could somehow make it light up
Finding excuses for your absence
When deep down, I knew enough
Friends kept telling me to move on
But I was holding on to maybes and ifs
Believing that tomorrow would be different
Even when tomorrow never did

It's strange how hope can keep a heart alive
Long after love has changed its mind

The day you stopped calling
The silence got louder than your voice
No big fight, no dramatic ending
Just a slow and quiet choice
The day you stopped calling
A part of me stopped sleeping too
′Cause every ring I waited for
Was another reminder of losing you
The day you stopped calling


Maybe you didn′t mean to hurt me
Maybe you were hurting too
Maybe letting go was easier
Than telling me the truth
But some endings leave no closure
Just empty spaces where words should be
And that's the kind that stays the longest
At least for me

The day you stopped calling

Was the day I started learning how to let go
Not because I wanted to
But because there was nowhere else to go
The day you stopped calling
The future changed without a sound
One moment I was waiting for forever
The next I was learning how to live without
The day you stopped calling
Still echoes every now and then
The day you stopped calling
