Silence

All · Mass Nerder [1998]

I still dream about you now and then

Then I wonder why I am

I still see your body in my head

I remember laying in your bed

It'll never happen again

I don't have a single thing to say

You dried me up in the three years

You were mine, silence

I don't have the words you want to hear

I can't pretend, I care, silence

I can't forget your pictures that I put away

I'll look at them again someday

I still hold your memory close to me

I've tried to share my thoughts

I thought it would never happen to me

I don't have a single thing to say

You dried me up in the three years

You were mine, silence

I don't have the words you want to hear

I can't pretend, I care, silence

Every time I see the smile

On our daughter's face

She clears up the mistakes

And puts us both back into place

But that's a dream that I can't stand to chase

I don't have a single thing to say

You dried me up in the three years

You were mine, silence

I don't have the words you want to hear

I can't pretend, I care, silence, silence
