Silence (Pretending's So Comfortable)

(Album: Never Happy, Ever After - 2015)

Four walls and a door; we used to call home
The rest of our lives, but not enough time, 'til 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
(Well 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 sinks in again)

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

(Go for the last time) [x2]

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, talk at all
We'll just wonder what, we still swallow glass for each other
We won't, talk at all
We'll just wonder what, we still swallow glass 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
