Your shadows close in tighter
Than the arms of the past
That held me when we were younger
I thought that I had left you behind
But you stay in the back of my mind
I hate that I've been losing this battle
Sitting stuck here in this void
Paralyzed unable to hide
From the sound of your voice
Oh you act like you're saving me
Shelter me from the world's disease
Well I'm locked in and lost the key
Oh this quiet is killing me
I'd love this silence
Better if you didn't live in it
I'd love myself
If you wouldn't tell me any different
And I would love you
If breaking me down wasn't all you do
Your voice that echoes loud in the darkness
Is telling me why I can't speak up
'Cause they'll all think I'm longing for attention
Who am I to say that they're wrong?
Don't act like that's saving me
Locked me in with my own disease
Well I'm stuck and I've lost the key
Oh this quiet is killing me
I'd love this silence
Better if you didn't live in it
I'd love myself
If you wouldn't tell me any different
And I would love you
If breaking me down wasn't all you do
Oh this silence
How sweet it would sound
I would love it
Had you never come around
All this quiet, it's
Become too violent
Your grip has left me bruised
Now, look at what I'm turning into
I'd love this silence
Better if you didn't live in it
I'd love myself
If you wouldn't tell me any different
And I would love you
If breaking me down wasn't all you do
I'd love this silence
(I love this silence)
I'd love this silence
(I love this silence)
I'd love this silence
(I love this silence)
I'd love this silence
I'd love this silence
I'd love this silence
