Truth In the Silence Now
Soulful Ballad...
Truth in the silence now

You turn... And you walk away...
No more words... Left to say...
And there's a truth in the silence now...
And there's no hiding from the pain...
So you go on your way...
And I go on my own...
And we... We cut the thread...
Of all that held us here...
And I keep wondering why...
And you've got me on your mind...
How come we... We couldn't mix...
Our love, the distance couldn't fix...
Oh-oh-oh... Oh-oh-oh... Oh-oh-oh...
Oh-oh-oh... Oh-oh-oh... Oh-oh-oh...
So you go on your way...
And I go on my own...
And we... We cut the thread...
Of all that held us here...
That held us here...
That held us here...
We were so close...
Now we're just tears...
Oh-oh-oh... Oh-oh-oh... Oh-oh-oh...
(Tears of hope... Tears of regret...)
Oh-oh-oh... Oh-oh-oh... Oh-oh-oh...
(Wishing life had played it better...)
Better for us... Better for us...
Better for us... Better for us...
And I keep wondering why...
And you've got me on your mind...
How come we... We couldn't mix...
Our love, the distance couldn't fix...
I wish you’d turn... And walk this way...
Have the right words... For us to say...
But there's a truth in the silence now...
And there nothing left but sighs...
So we walk away for good...
With tears in our eyes...
(Tears in our eyes...)
Tears in our eyes...
(In our eyes...)
Oh-oh-oh... Oh-oh-oh... Oh-oh-oh...
(Tears of hope... Tears of regret...)
Oh-oh-oh... Oh-oh-oh... Oh-oh-oh...
(Wishing life had played it better...)
Better for us... Better for us...
Better for us... Better for us...
