Silence Speaks A Thousand Words

(album: Electric Youth - 1989)

When I asked you, you said nothing was wrong
But I listened to your magical song
All its notes were gone. You sang it, I heard
Silence Speaks a thousand words

You keep telling me I'll pay the price
For asking you once, and telling you twice
But I paid the day your emotions turned cold
Silence speaks a thousand words

[Chorus]
Where do I turn when you turn away
It's never just the things you say
You never, ever put me down
But when you speak, you turn around
And saying not much is saying alot

If you spoke truth, there would be no doubt
But the only words are "We'll work it out"
Well, that's not saying much, you just don't take the time
And that is where I draw the line

[Chorus]
Oh, where do I turn when you turn away
It's never just the things you say
You never, ever put me down
But when you speak, you turn around
And saying not much is saying alot

[Bridge]
You're sending signals, first of hope and then insecurity
Signals of doubt are everywhere, and subconciously
You know you wanna break the ties
But you use silence, you use lies
But don't worry, I'll return your song of silence

Silence speaks a thousand words

Silence speaks a thousand words
