Silence

I could love you if you'd let me
I'm empty and fragile and needing
to give my love to you, you see
silence only keeps me bleeding.

Believe in me, I have before
worked wonders for reckoning
don't run away from this
don't you hear me beckoning?

I have not failed you in the past
if you could only let yourself believe
come sit with me and say anything
to cast my silence to its relieve
