Staring into Silence

You shook the world tonight

Took the words away

I just couldn't speak.

Seems we are worlds apart

Something had to change

Maybe that was me

And my heart says

Don't let anybody see

How your words are cutting into me

I've been wrapped around your finger

Staring into silence

A book that no one reads

I'll take shelter in my mind

And maybe I will find that

I can start to breathe.

You always have to start

Time and time again

Take it out on me.

We started out as friends

Where the story ends

I just cannot see

And my heart says

Don't let anybody see

How your words are cutting into me

I've been wrapped around your finger

Staring into silence

A book that no one reads

I'll take shelter in my mind

And maybe I will find that

I can start to breathe.

I've been wrapped around your finger

Staring into silence

A book that no one reads

I'll take shelter in my mind

And maybe I will find that

I can start to breathe.
