When
I asked you
you
said nothing was wrong
but
I listened to
your
magical song
All
its notes were gone
You
sang it, I heard
Silence
speaks a thousand words
You
keep telling me
I’ll
pay the price
for
asking you once
and
telling you twice
but
I paid the day
your
emotions turned cold
Silence
speaks a thousand words
Where
do I turn when you turn away
It’s
never just the things you say
You
never ever put me down
but
when I speak you turn around
and
saying not much is saying a lot
If
you spoke truth
there
would be no doubt
but
the only words are
we’ll
work it out
Well,
that’s not saying much
You
just don’t take the time
and
that is where I draw the line
Oh,
where do I turn when you turn away
It’s
never just the things you say
You
never ever put me down
but
when I speak you turn around
and
saying not much is saying a lot
You’re
sending signals, first of hope, then insecurity
signals
of doubt are everywhere and subconsciously
you
know you want to break the ties
but
you use silence, you use lies
Don’t
worry, I’ll return your song of silence
Silence
speaks a thousand words
Silence
speaks a thousand words
