[Verse 1]
You wondered why I speak my mind
Thought being kind was a waste of time
A sudden shift when the truth comes out
That's what the doubt is all about
You turn on me when I hold the space
I see the coldness on your face
[Chorus]
So let's rewind to the silent place
Where every word is a waste of breath
Back to the quiet inside my head
Where nothing's broken and nothing's said
I'll take the silence, I'll take the peace
And let the noise of the conflict cease
[Verse 2]
I tried to reason, I tried to share
To build a bridge that was never there
You wanted quiet, you got your way
There's nothing left for my tongue to say
Back to the shadows where I belong
Where quiet whispers outshine the song
[Outro]
Just my silent voice
The only choice
(Fade out)
