​‎when the silence falls

[Verse 1]
Red lips, pink wine, oceans of white lies
Her cold eyes avoid mine
My lungs ache, my voice gone
So much to say, but it's all wrong
The words fade on my tongue

[Pre-Chorus]
I lost my breath in the middle of her sentence
Rather pretend I don't know what it means
I bet she knows, but she'd never dare to mention
Think that it might be why I'm losing sleep, oh

[Chorus]
Oh, I need a minute
Before I go and destroy the evening
I know my heart won't hеal 'til it speaks
But I'm just scared for the hurt whеn the silence falls
Oh, I need a minute
Before I go and cause all the damage
I know I'll be probably be fine when it ends
But I'm just scared for the hurt when the silence falls

[Verse 2]
There's no way, nobody sees
Ain't it obvious? Bet she pities me
Don't want this type of empathy, no

[Pre-Chorus]
Can't seem to avoid confrontation any longer
There's nothing that weighs as heavy as the truth
I empty the glass, think I'm gonna need another
Don't wanna remember if I am a fool
There's never a right time for the moment of destruction
Never a sign when there's a lot to lose

[Chorus]
Oh, I need a minute
Before I go and destroy the evening
I know my heart won't heal 'til it speaks
But I'm just scared for the hurt when the silence falls
Oh, I need a minute
Before I go and cause all the damage
I know I'll be probably be fine when it ends
But I'm just scared for the hurt when the silence falls

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Oh, I need a minute
Before I go and destroy the evening
I know my heart won't heal 'til it speaks
But I'm just scared for the hurt when the silence falls
Oh, I need a minute
Before I go and cause all the damage
I know I'll be probably be fine when it ends
But I'm just scared for the hurt when the silence falls
