Silence


from the ABC set CAS AND CSH

Why do I feel so lost
When I now have you back?
Is there something about you,
Something before, I didnt see wrong?
Was there always this crack,
Or is this something new?

I can feel you all around me,
Can hear your voice as I cry.
Why did it have to be like this?
Looking around, nothing is what I see
Why do we have to say goodbye?
You should know how I feel about it.

I`m starting to fall, I feel it
Now here comes the breakdown.
The tears stream down my face.
I dont know if I can hold it in.
In my own tears I drown,
Grabbing the glass in a daze.

Usually, seeing the blood is token.
This time, it doesn`t seem to work.
So I slash and slash again
And lay on the floor, broken
Can`t get rid of this hurt.
This is why we have to end.

I hope you know, I love you
Really I do, you must know this.
I think about you every day
though I try not to.
It doesnt work, have you noticed?
I know this wont take my pain away...

I know these feelings are crazy
But I cant change how I think
Unless you stop me; thats how it is.
Of course, you could make me.
If you really do love me,
Maybe you`ll get the point of this.
