i stay silent Lyrics

Uncontrollably, I've come to grow fond of you

And so I bite my nails

Wondering how to tell you

But what if you don't hear me

Let it stay a mystery

So predictably, my cheeks are burning red

And I pray that all my fragile words aren't misread

It's the most frightening thing

To have you running 'round in my head

I'm runnin' out of breath

So I stay silent

And I'll try to hide it

Forget what you've heard

Won't say a word

I will stay silent

So I stay silent

And I'll try to hide it

But you said it first

Gave me your word

Cut through the silence

Became defenseless, tore down my walls just for you

And it was perfect 'til you did exactly

What I thought you could never do

Tried to convince myself, no it can't be true

He couldn't have done that to you

I never understood how you said you loved me

But at that point tainted love was all I knew

It was all you ever showed me

Kept my big old secret as I ran around the sun

But every orbit told me I should just move on

I stay silent

As if nothing happened

Don't say a word

You're a big girl

I just stay silent

So I stay silent

As if nothing happened

Don't say a word

You're a big girl

I just stay silent

Now it all simply

Sits there in the past

And you live your life

As if nothing ever happened

And even with all the damage that you've caused me

I stay silent

As if nothing happened

Don't say a word

I'm a big girl

I just stay silent

I stay silent

While I keep fighting

The world isn't fair

And he'll never care

So I just stay silent
