Lyrics
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.
Thought I'd find it easier
Under lock, chain and key
Thought I'd find it easier
To just keep you to me
When the wisdom and the patience
Of the world's wasted on me
That's when I shut down my relationships
Watch them floating out to sea
I understand that it never ends
She's waiting round every corner; round every bend
And it hurts to know that I won't know if you knew how the summer went
I understand silence
I understand that it never ends
She's waiting round every corner; round every bend
When you're scared and lost don't let it all build up
Break the silence
Someone to call a best friend
Someone to be there when it ends
When you're scared and lost don't let it all build up
Break the silence
