EMMA POLLOCK - If Silence Means That Much To You lyrics

rate me

We live for the greater, We live for the good

At least that's what I thought, She understood

So why then the phone call, The torrent of words

That dismissed the past decades, And deemed them absurd?

And what did you think about, Think about with her?

And what did you talk about, Talk about with her?

There's nothing that I wouldn't do, To remedy this thing for you

If silence means that much to you, Then I promise to keep silent, too

Bear in mind one final thing, The solitude that it will bring

If silence outlives everything, The residue will never thin

Deny me the first time, Deny me then twice

But not once again, If you value this life

The oldest is broken, The youngest clings on

But the middle tries hard, To still belong

And what did you think about, Think about with her?

And what did you talk about, Talk about with her?

There's nothing that I wouldn't do, To remedy this thing for you

If silence means that much to you, Then I promise to keep silent, too

Bear in mind one final thing, The solitude that it will bring

If silence outlives everything, The residue will never thin

Buried alive, And with nobody watching

Severed all ties, With the mother of lies

No circle of friends, No scattering ashes

Just hang up the line, And pray you'll be fine

And what did you think about, Think about with her?

And what did you talk about, Talk about with her?

There's nothing that I wouldn't do, To remedy this thing for you

If silence means that much to you, Then I promise to keep silent, too

Bear in mind one final thing, The solitude that it will bring

If silence outlives everything, The residue will never thin
