Hurt with silence
Hoping it will sort it out (it will sort it out)
I don't buy this
Quiet violence I
Just wanna sort it out (want to sort it out)
[Chorus]
We don't fight we just
Hurt with silence
Hoping it will sort it out (it will sort it out)
I don't buy this
Quiet violence I
Just wanna sort it out (want to sort it out)
