Loudest Silence
Why can’t I say
How I feel inside
‘farid to tell you
What I’m used to hide
Secrets I keep
But wish you would take
Can’t you hear my silence
When I’m talking loud
Can’t you hear my screams
When I don’t make a sound
Can’t you see my tears
As I smile and laugh
Can;’t you see my pain
‘cause I know it hurts so bad
Wish I could tell you
But afraid you don’t care
Wish I can show you
But afraid you don’t care
Wish I could show you
But you’re never there
Wish I could leave this
Yet I stay
Wish I could tell you
What I need to say
Wish you could hold me
And tell me it will be alright
Wish I wouldn’t be
All alone tonight
But I can’t tell you
How I feel
Cannot tell you my pain is real
You cannot see
My tears falling down
‘cause I’m afraid
You’ll walk away with no sound
Shhh be silent
I tell myself today
In case you decide to walk away
By heart is broken
Cannot be healed
My lips are shut
Can you break the seal?
