Silent, is how this world should be
Silent, with you next to me
Silent, is the heart that speaks your name
Silent as I play the waiting game.

The night we used to share
Has now driven me to despair
The love you used to give
Was the breath that made me live.

And now I'm silent...

Silent, are the tears that fall from from eyes
Silent, were your lies
Silent, was the way you came into my heart
Silent is the way lovers part.

The way we used to talk...
How you held my hands when we'd walk...
The love we've made
Is a memory that shall never fade.

And now you're silent...

Silent, I tried to conquer
Silently I was defeated
Silent, is a light at the end of a tunnel
Silently life is repeated.
