Silence

Time to tell me the truth
To burden your mouth for what you say
No pieces of paper in the way

'Cause I can't continue pretending to choose
These opposite sides on which we fall
The loving you laters if at all
No right minds could wrong, be this many times

My memory is cruel
I'm queen of attention to details
Defending intentions if its fails

Until now, you told me
It sounded familiar in a way
That I could have sworn I'd heard you say it
Ten thousand times, if only I had been listening

Leave unsaid, unspoken
Eyes wide shut, unopened
You and me always between the lines


I thought i was ready to bleed
That we'd move from the shadows on the wall
Stand in the center of it all

Too late, two choices, to stay or to leave
Mine was so easy to uncover
you'd already left
So I learned to listen through silence

Leave unsaid, unspoken
Eyes wide shut, unopened
You and me always be

I tell myself all the words you surely meant to say
I'll talk until the conversation doesn't stay on
Wait for me, I'm almost ready when you meant let go.

It's just hit me

should I give up..
or should I just keep chasing pavements..
Even if it leads nowhere..
or would it be a waste..
even if I knew my place..
should I leave it there..
