Break the Silence
Alsou Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you hear me calling,
Or am I just falling in the ocean of regret
Words are left unsaid
I wish I had told you,
I wish that I could have the chance again
But when I close my eyes
I can see you there, reaching out your hand to me
Oh, I miss you
I miss you
I miss you
Somehow over mountains
Somehow over sea
Love will break the silence
And bring you back to me
Love will bring you back to me
Somehow...
Give me wings to fly, across the great divide
I'm trying to face tomorrow
I wish I could borrow just a glimpse of what will be
Just to hear you speak
These nights are getting longer
My love for you is growing stronger
As long as there is hope
I will send a pray as far as the winds will blow
And I hope somehow you'll know
How, I miss you
I miss you
I miss you
Somehow over mountains
Somehow over sea
Love will break the silence
And bring you back to me
Somehow there's an answer
Somehow I believe
Love will bring you back to me
Somehow...
When I close my eyes
I can see you there, reaching out your hand to me
And I hope somehow you will see
Oh, I miss you
I miss you
I miss you
Somehow over mountains
Somehow over sea
Love will break the silence
And bring you back to me
Somehow there's an answer
Somehow I believe
Love will bring you back to me
Somehow...
Love will bring you back
Love will bring you back
Love will bring you back
