Enjoy the Silence

What to say when silence is best
So many things to get off my chest
Keeping it all inside works for now
Questions coming from all

So enjoy the silence 
It's not what I want to do
Healing it will be for you
I'll stay away and put on the smile
Everything's alright, I'll say for awhile

I'll bury the sadness deep inside
These crazy feelings I'll try to hide
I'm broken but my shoulders are broad
The only one I can talk to is God

So enjoy the silence 
It's not what I want to do
Healing it will be for you
I'll stay away and put on the smile
Everything's alright, I'll say for awhile

What I want to say is........
What I want to say is........
What I want to say is........
What I want to say is........

So enjoy the silence 
It's not what I want to do
Healing it will be for you
I'll stay away and put on the smile
Everything's alright, I'll say for awhile

You still take my breath away
But I know what I can't say 
Stay the course and fade away
And a breath will escape one day
