For the Second Time

I came home to find the lights all burnin' bright

And I was feelin' good inside, a friend had seen me through the night

And you know that thing that hits you

When you realize you've thrown it far too high?

And as I called your name around the place

In silence was the very loud reply

I saw it in movies and I smiled

When Little Egypt, she slipped away and left us sitting in the aisles

And the fallacy of running

From disaster, or a river cracked and dry

And as I waited, half-expecting her

In silence was the very loud reply

And for the second time in a year

I was broken, I was broken

I was broken (Broken)

And for the second time in a year

I was broken, I was broken

I was broken (Broken)

I disbelieved in luck and stayed inside

And silence makes a very loud reply
