The Silence

We're stuck here at arm's length I feel like it's draining all my strength I left you here to see how you'll make it on your own The worst part of my life I still think about you all the time But I kept you cold till I found out how to make it alone But how could I have known? How could I have known? A sad song, a breakbeat Turn it up until the whole place starts to shake The silence can be a reminder that you are on your own I'm trying a method so I can find and take your perspective And understand how you've been so good at keeping your cool But how could I have known? How could I have known? I'm happy to see you But I have to think twice before I believe you When you look me in the eye and say that you've never looked back It's hardly even conscious it's hard for me to get her It's not for me to try and make her feel better Fall back into those habits that I left because they took me off track But how could I have known? How could I have known? How could I have known that you loved me When you treated me like that? You never showed me the meaning of everything you wanted back So just take a moment and think through everything you'll say But don't tell me you're sorry 'cos you know I won't see it that way I've got to let you go I've got to let you go
