The Pause

[Verse 1]

You coulda just smiled, you coulda just lied

Been a good girl and read those lines

We want the truth until it hurts

I wish you just smiled, I wish you just lied

[Pre-Chorus]

How do we come back from this?

[Chorus]

It don't matter what you say now

Your silence said it so loud

While you took your time I

Read between the lines

It's not a misdirection, it's just a simple question

You said it all, you said it all... in the pause

[Verse 2]

Why did I ask, it should be implied

The fact that I had to should have been a sign

Another life lesson learned

Don't ask if you can't take the worst

[Pre-Chorus + Chorus]

[Ad-Lib]

Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, aw-oh-oh

You said it all in the pause

Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, aw-oh-oh

[Bridge]

How do we come back from this?

How do we come back from this?

Woah-oh, woah-oh

How do we come back from this?

How do we come back from this?

Woah-oh, woah-oh

(Can we come back) How do we come back from this?

(Can we come back) How do we come back from this?

Woah-oh, woah-oh

[Chorus 2]

It don't matter what you say now

Your silence said it so loud

While you took your time I

Read between the lines

It's not a misdirection, it's such a simple question

You said it all, you said it all... in the pause
