Drown out the Silence Lyrics

I never saw it coming

But I guess that's the way it goes

Keeping track of what you've lost

Amounts to wisdom I suppose

Some get married and multiply

Some get divorced and divide

Or one day the world's got your number

And it all adds up to a lie

Tell me

Why can't I just drown out the silence?

I guess there's not much that you can say

Why can't I just drown out the silence

The nights are dark and lonely

So I just live day to day

I've got to put the future behind me

Keep from falling back

Just when I lose everything

Just when I lose everything

I now see what I lack

The sorry things I did

I always will regret

The things I thought I could live without

I never will forget

You know I thought we'd have it all

But you'd just had enough

Now whenever you see me smile

It's just a blind man's bluff

Think I'll buy a lotto ticket

Try to start from scratch

Claim to have the fire to try again

But really I'm no match

I'm scared of my own shadow of doubt

Haunted by what I can't live without

Full of emptiness feeling drained

I'm falling and I can't stand the strain
