The Silence
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You lift me up, then knock me down
I'm never sure just what to feel when you're around
I speak my heart, but don't know why
Cause you don't ever really say what's on your mind
It's like I'm walking on broken glass
I wanna know, but I don't wanna ask
So say you love me
So say you need me
Don't let the silence
Do the talking
Just say you want me
Oh you don't need me
Don't let the silence do the talking
It's killin' me (the silence)
It's killin' me (the silence)
It's killin' me (the silence)
You let me in, but then sometimes
Your empty eyes just make me feel so cold inside
When I'm with you, it's like rolling dice
Don't know when and how your gonna make me cry
So say you love me
So say you need me
Don't let the silence
Do the talking
Just say you want me
Oh you don't need me
Don't let the silence do the talking
It's killin' me (the silence)
It's killin' me, yeah (the silence)
Hooowooo (the silence)
It's like I'm walking on broken glass
I wanna know but I don't wanna ask
Cause once you say it you can't take it back
If it's then end then please just make it pass
So say you love me
So say you need me
Don't let the silence
Do the talking
Just say you want me
Oh you don't need me
Don't let the silence do the talking
Wooohoooo
(The Silence)
You lift me up, then knock me down
I'm never sure just what to feel when you're around
