Lyrics

Silent Side

Only to go hungry

Only to go spare

Just a starter poet

Looking for somewhere

I can feel you now

You're back, it makes me weak

I could lay you down, lay you down to sleep

You are my silent side

(Only you, only you)

You are my silent side

(Only you, only you)

You are my silent side

(Only you, only you)

You are my silent side

(Only you, only you)

Never the one, never the one to say

Never the one, never the one to say

Only to go hungry

Only to go spare

Just a starter poet

Looking for somewhere

I can feel you now

You're back, it makes me weak

I could lay you down, lay you down to sleep

'Cause you are my silent side

(Only you, only you)

You are my silent side

(Only you, only you)

You are my silent side

(Only you, only you)

You are my silent side

(Only you, only you)

Only you
