Silence Speaks (a Thousand Words) |
|
by Deborah Gibson |
|
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 |
|
Where do I turn when you turn away |
|
it's never just the things you say |
|
You never ever put me down |
|
But when I speak you turn around |
|
and saying not much is saying a lot |
|
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 |
|
Where do I turn when you turn away |
|
it's never just the things you say |
|
You never ever put me down |
|
But when I speak you turn around |
|
and saying not much is saying a lot |
|
You're sending signals |
|
first of hope then insecurity |
|
signals of doubt are everywhere |
|
and subconsciously |
|
You know you wanna break the ties |
|
But you use silence |
|
You use lies |
|
Don't worry |
|
I'll return your song of silence |
|
Silence speaks a thousand words |
|
Silence speaks a thousand words |
