in the silence of words

this is a song
i'll never write
of you and me
and our tomorrow night
these are the words
i'll never say
secrets i could have told you
if we wouldn't have walked away

now i'm here
in the silence of words still waiting for me
i'll be
the one to hear the only words you don't say
now i'll scream to our silences
you and I remain

these words are the choices
we didn't make
the hearts that we held
too scared to break
but i'm breaking, you're broken
i'll hold to the truth
as you hold to me
i'm kissing your mouth
and you smile at me
one more time, three more times

now i'm here
in the silence of words still waiting for me
i'll be
the one to hear the only words you don't say
now i'll scream to our silences
you and I remain

i try to sing but I can't even speak
try to hum a tune that you
won't even hear
tripping over words
and you're lost in my ear
til I've found you, you found me
may not be able to say a thing
but if we listen close enough
this time we'll say everything

now i'm here
in the silence of words still waiting for me
i'll be
the one to hear the only words you don't say
now i'll scream to our silences
in the silence of words still waiting for me
i'll be
the one to hear the only words you don't say
now i'll scream to our silences
you and I remain

this is a song
i'll never write
these are the words
you'll never hear
in the silence of words
