Silent Stranger

As we walk along the beach

We're trying to talk just one more time

And though it's hard to find the words

I need to know what's on your mind

You've become a silent stranger

No more than just a passer-by

Like the seagull on its way

Flying high up in the sky

We see the waves crash on the shore

Silence tearing us apart

Don't you hide in sorrow

Don't you hang on the past

'Cause time and tide will wait for no one

Life will pass you by too fast

I thought we had a secret bond

One that no one else could break

But now I find myself confused

By misunderstandings you create

I need to see your other side now

Although I know your mind's your own

But in the silence where you hide

You will always be alone

And still the waves crash on the shore

Silence tearing us apart

Don't you hide in sorrow

Don't you hang on the past

'Cause time and tide will wait for no one

Life will pass you by too fast

So let the sea predict your future

And let emotion be your guide

Step into the light

When darkness creeps upon me

And I've almost lost my way

You take the path of least resistance

When all I need is some words you say

It seems silence has fallen between us

You speak yet you don't say a word

How can you so bluntly deny what I said

And pretend that your pride has been hurt

You know I am lonely

Is it true that our love has run dry

I know your words don't come too easy

Is it too late to even try

Oh love is never easy

When silence stands in our way

A constant battle of emotions

We have to fight it every day

Feels like stumbling on walls of frustration

Can no one just break down your door

Eruptions of anger and shadows of doubt

Those feelings you've not had before

Don't hide in sorrow

Silent stranger step into the light

Just open up, tell me your secrets

And put an end to this silent fight
