Silence (Pretending’s So Comfortable)

[Verse 1]
Four walls and a door
We used to call home
The rest of our lives but not enough time till we're both alone
I try to steady my hands
You hurt to know why
I open my mouth and just trip over sounds
But my eyes speak goodbye

[Chorus]
The silence tells us all we need to know

[Verse 2]
I breathe nervous and slow
While you're desperate for air
My eyes sink to the floor
Yours compelled still to stare
In my tears you know I meant all I said
As every elegant word I said turns to regret

[Chorus]
The silence tells us all we need to know (need to know)
Pretending's so comfortable
But I have to go for the last time

[Verse 3]
You challenge all that I speak
So this won't mean the end
I rephrase and repeat
Leaving nothing unsaid
Your hysterics hide the last words you'd hear
As I stand to abandon
Your lonely four walls full of fear

[Chorus]
The silence tells us all we need to know (need to know)
Pretending's so comfortable
But I have to go for the last time

[Bridge]
We won't talk at all, we'll just wonder
We won't talk at all, we'll just wonder
We won't talk at all, we'll just wonder
We won't talk at all, we won't talk at all
We won't just talk at all, we'll just wonder would we still swallow glass for each other
We won't just talk at all, we'll just wonder would we still swallow glass for each other

[Chorus]
The silence tells us all we need to know (need to know)
Pretending's so comfortable
But I have to go for the last time

The silence tells us all we need to know (need to know)
Pretending's so comfortable
But I had to go
