Silence

There's a dark and quiet silence, 
inside our home tonight
I feel the absence of your heart, 
and the emptiness of your hand
My hearts not beating right, 
with your image blurred from sight
And your leavings left me crying, 
not acting like a man

I can still see your back, 
as you turned and slammed the door
And those words that you said, 
keeps pounding inside my head
I have this pain in my knees, 
from begging on this floor
Oh! my eyes are overflowing, 
and my tears have turned them red

My hearts now shattered and torn, 
without you in my arms
Each night I hear your voice, 
even though I know you're gone
Your voice echoes inside my head, 
setting off alarms
Oh! If I just knew what I done, 
Maybe you'd be here and not be gone

I know you said we haven't felt the same, 
that it's been a long long time
And I know I can't keep pretending, 
but these tears are on my cheek
And my heart still holds your love, 
always will till the end of time
Oh! my eyes are overflowing, 
Cause  this silence makes me weak
