Silence


No one really cares about what happened when no one was there And all I really know Is how this pain inside my chest grows Oh silence repeat Say it after me Oh silence repeat Say it after me Never quite sure who's good company When tornados meet volcanoes water faucets shoot gasoline Oh my God you've got me on my knees Praying when I walk away I'll finally get release It was wrong I can't speak You were my first love and now you haunt me in my sleep Oh silence repeat Say it after me Silence repeat Say it after me The silence really kills me and I don't quite understand how after all that you could even have the guts to hold my hand
