[Verse 1]
Something keeps your eyes from sleeping
Are your ghosts still keeping you up?
It’s eating you up
You try to breathe through the constant weeping
But the air don’t fill your lungs
Is your worrying heart
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Trying to undermine everything you and I ever loved
Like a chainsaw cutting a line through the beautiful woods
Try to get it out of my mind, and I would if I could
But I can’t, and I can’t understand
Why it undermines everything you and I ever loved
Like a wildfire burning a hole in the beautiful sky
And it’s leaving me lying alone in the dead of the night
And I’m wondering why, and I’m wondering why
[Chorus]
Lie in closer to me (and say nothing)
We say the most when we don’t speak (so say nothing)
And while it burns down, block the world out
Baby girl, I’ll build a wall out of these two thin sheets of cotton (say nothing)
Say nothing
[Verse 2]
Of the way you feel about waking up to find
There’s a broken hearted voice in your mind
And you’re wondering why
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Why it undermines everything you and I ever loved
Like a landslide moving the earth from under your feet
And you’re letting me know that it hurts without having to speak
'Cause you know one look is all it needs
[Chorus]
Lie in closer to me (and say nothing)
We say the most when we don’t speak (so say nothing)
And while it burns down, block the world out
Baby girl, I’ll build a wall out of these two thin sheets of cotton (say nothing)
Say nothing
[Bridge]
I’ve known you long enough
To know we’re strong enough
To say nothing
[Chorus]
Lie in closer to me (and say nothing)
We say the most when we don’t speak (so say nothing)
And while it burns down, block the world out
Baby girl, I’ll build a wall out of these two thin sheets of cotton (say nothing)
Say nothing
