Say Nothing

Example · The Evolution Of Man [2012]

With you by my side

I felt like I'd arrived

I was lost and found

I feel kinda selfish

And selfish is helpless

I dragged you down



We somehow delayed it

I played it so basic we fooled our crowd

So nice on the surface

But somehow we burnt it

Now words don't mean a thing



You don't have to say nothing

Say nothing

Cos your eyes do the talking

You don't have to say nothing

Say nothing

Cos your eyes do the talking



I get home at half five

We fight til the sunrise

We won't back down

The subjects worth hiding

It's high stakes we're riding

It all falls down



Twice strikes the lightning

The night had me high under its dark spell

Now I fight back, you fight back

Won't wave your white flag

Our words don't mean a thing



Don't speak

Don't speak no more

Cos your eyes do the talking

Don't speak

Don't speak no more

Cos your eyes do the talking



You don't have to say nothing

Say nothing

Cos your eyes do the talking

You don't have to say nothing

Say nothing

Cos your eyes do the talking



(Let's talk...)

We used to have our eggs sunny side up

But the fun dried up

And now I feel like our time's up

I can see you wanna talk but your tongues tied up

Gotta wise up

Cant keep hiding, cant keep sliding

Down that one way road to oblivion

I've told you a million times where my heads at

But it's all arguments and who's winning em

Sometimes the right words don't surface

Shut up pretend it's all perfect

Brain short circuits so

I look into your eyes and I don't feel worthless

What I said you know I never meant it

Like somebody keeps finishing my sentence

No more tears, no more lies

I know what you want when you say it with your eyes



Don't speak

Don't speak no more

Cos your eyes do the talking

Don't speak

Don't speak no more

Cos your eyes do the talking



You don't have to say nothing

Say nothing

Cos your eyes do the talking

You don't have to say nothing

Say nothing

Cos your eyes do the talking
