Silence (Pretending's so Comfortable) - As It Is

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

The silence tells us all we need to know

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

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

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

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

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

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
