Silence X

Four walls and a door we used to call home

The rest of our lives, but not enough time til we're both alone

I try to steady my hands

You hurt to know why

I open my mouth, but just trip over sounds

But my eyes speak goodbye

The silence tells us all we need to know

I breathe nervous and slow while you're desperate for air

My eyes sink to the floor, yours compelled still to stare

In my tears you know I meant all I said

As every elegant word I said turned to regret

The silence tells us all we need to know

Pretending's so comfortable, but I have to go for the last time

You challenge all that I speak, so this won't mean the end

I rephrase and repeat, leaving nothing unsaid

Your hysterics hide the last words you'd hear

As I stand to abandon your lonely four walls full of fear

We won't talk at all, we'll just wonder

Would we still swallow glass for each other?

(And I'll bleed for you)

The silence tells us all we need to know

Pretending's so comfortable, but I had to go
