When I asked you,
You said nothing was wrong,
But I listened to,
Your magical song.
All it's 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 wanna 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.
