Noise In the Silence

From the moment that you shut that door
I knew that things had changed
I am not the man I was
For I'm broken and deranged

Empty thoughts now steal my mind
I do not feel the same
You've taken all I've given you
And offered me the blame

With each breath I take, I pray each day
Will somehow be my last
I taste the words I heard you say
A reflection from the past

The noise that's in the silence
Is screaming out your name
Hope and trust have been replaced
With loneliness and shame

I'm stuck in broken promises
A victim of your lies
My heartbeat now a stranger
My soul doesn't recognize

The noise that's in the silence
Still haunts me everyday
The noise I hear is a heart that breaks
Can somebody take it away
