Lyrics

Say Nothing

[Verse 1]

With you by my side

I felt like I'd arrived

I was lost and found

I feel kinda selfish

And selfish is helpless

I dragged you down

We somehow delayed it

I played it so basic we fooled our crowd

So nice on the surface

But somehow we burnt it

Now words don't mean a thing

[Hook]

You don't have to say nothing

Say nothing

Cause your eyes do the talking

You don't have to say nothing

Say nothing

Cause your eyes do the talking

[Verse 2]

I get home at half five

We fight til the sunrise

We won't back down

The subjects worth hiding

It's high stakes we're riding

It all falls down

Twice strikes the lightning

The night had me high under its dark spell

Now I fight back, you fight back

Won't wave your white flag

Our words don't mean a thing

[Bridge]

Don't speak

Don't speak no more

Cause your eyes do the talking

Don't speak

Don't speak no more

Cause your eyes do the talking

[Hook]

[Verse 3]

Let's talk

We used to have our eggs sunny side up

But the fun dried up

And now I feel like our time's up

I can see you wanna talk but your tongues tied up

Gotta wise up

Can't keep hiding, can't keep sliding

Down that one way road to oblivion

I've told you a million times where my heads at

But it's all arguments and who's winning them

Sometimes the right words don't surface

Shut up pretend it's all perfect

Brain short circuits so

I look into your eyes and I don't feel worthless

What I said you know I never meant it

Like somebody keeps finishing my sentence

No more tears, no more lies

I know what you want when you say it with your eyes

[Bridge]

[Hook]
