silence isn't always gold
When you're alone and self -hating
You feel your heart is overflown
And pain seems only escalating
I'm sorry if I let you down
And if your heart is really breaking,
I'm sure you'll always remain sound
And calm even when you're raging inside
And although you've grown up
The child inside you're still so cold
Yes, although you've grown up
The child inside you're still so cold
I must have done something wrong
You never let me see you breaking
We didn't mean to do us harm
Those hollow smiles that we'd been faking
I know to you it's all just words
Never backed by any meaning
Your defenses hear the words,
an d your heart never stops sinking
I know, and though I really tried,
I never felt the love come back
I thought I really tried,
but damaged goods are only there
I guess we never healed from
All of the shouting and the shaking
Back from when we were so young
Life only seemed to be taking our love
Life is gonna give it back
If you'll just wait it out
Life is gonna give it back
It's gonna give it back to you
