silence (pretending's so comfortable)

four walls and a door; we used to call home

the rest of our lives

but not enough time

'til we're both alone

i try to steady my hands

you hurt to know why

i open my mouth and just trip over sounds

but my eyes speak goodbye

the silence tells us all we need to know

i breathe nervous and slow

my eyes sink to the floor

in my tears

you know i meant all i said

the silence tells us all we need to know

pretending's so comfortable

but i have to

go for the last time

you challenge all that i speak

i rephrase and repeat

your hysterics hide the last words you'd hear

the silence tells us all we need to know

pretending's so comfortable

but i have to

go for the last time

we won't

talk at all

we'll just wonder

we won't

talk at all

we'll just wonder

we won't

talk at all

we'll just wonder

we won't talk at all

we won't talk at all!

we won't

talk at all

we'll just wonder what

we still swallow glass for each other

we won't

talk at all

we'll just wonder what

we still swallow glass each other

the silence tells us all we need to know

pretending's so comfortable

but i have to

go for the last time

the silence tells us all we need to know

pretending's so comfortable

but i had to go
