Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So I keep
My thoughts hidden
We both agreed
To be friends
But emotions have risen
Wish you
Would give a sign That you know
How I'm feeling
But until then
I'll cry silent tears
(I'll cry silent tears)
Oh, but until
Then I'll cry silent tears
(I'll cry silent tears)
Oh, oh
But until
Then I'll cry silent tears
(I'll cry silent tears)
Don't wanna be in this world
Living this life with out you
Don't wanna live on this earth
Loving nobody else but you
Don't wanna be in this world
Living this life with out you
Don't wanna live on this earth
Loving nobody else but you
What we shared together
Was beautiful
I never felt
Anything like our essence But if I can't have you
I'd rather be
In your presence
Crying these silent tears
(I'll cry silent tears)
Oh, oh, oh
Crying theses silent tears
(I'll cry silent tears)
Don't wanna be in this world
Living this life
With out you babe
Don't wanna live on this earth
Loving nobody else but you
Don't wanna be in this world
Living this life
With out you babe
Don't wanna live on this earth
Loving nobody else but you
(Nobody but you)

(Cry silent tears)
(Cry, cry silent tears)
I'll keep crying
(Cry silent tears)
(Cry, cry silent tears)
Crying silent tears
(Cry, cry silent tears)
Oh I'll keep on
(Cry, cry silent tears)
Until the day
When I get sad
That I love you
(Cry, cry silent tears)
I'll keep on crying
(Cry, cry silent tears)
I'll keep on crying
(Cry, cry silent tears)
Oh I'm crying inside
Cause I don't know
If you feel
The same way about me
Like I feel about you
(Cry)
Oh, baby
Baby this feeling
Is so strong
(Cry)
Oh
And it's so strong
(Cry)
That I can't let you go

(Cry)
I can't let you go
(Cry)
I can't let you go

Let you go
If you feel the same
So I keep
The lyrics to Bishop Larry D. Trotter's "Silent Tears" tell a story of unrequited love, where the singer finds himself in love with someone who only sees him as a friend. The opening lines reveal that the singer has kept his feelings hidden due to their agreement to be friends, but as his emotions intensify, he longs for a sign of recognition from his love interest. The chorus repeats the phrase "I'll cry silent tears" suggesting that the singer is suffering in silence, concealing the depths of his pain.
The second verse emphasizes the strength of the connection they once shared, describing it as "beautiful" with an "essence" that can't be replicated. The singer is left with a difficult decision, as he would rather be in his love interest's company even if they can not be together. The chorus is repeated, reinforcing the idea that the singer is crying on the inside, fully aware that his love interest may never return his feelings.
There is a sense of hopelessness and desperation in the lyrics, with the singer acknowledging that he cannot imagine loving anyone else. The song ends with the repetition of "I can't let you go," underscoring the intensity of the singer's feelings and suggesting that this love will continue to consume him.

If you feel the same
If you have the same emotions as I do
So I keep
So I keep my thoughts hidden
My thoughts hidden
My feelings and thoughts are kept a secret
We both agreed
We agreed to just be friends
To be friends
To maintain a platonic relationship
But emotions have risen
But feelings of love and attraction have surfaced
Wish you
I wish that you
Would give a sign
Would provide a sign or indication
That you know
That you are aware
How I'm feeling
Of my feelings towards you
But until then
Until a sign is given
I'll cry silent tears
I will continue to cry inwardly and keep my pain hidden
(I'll cry silent tears)

Living this life with out you
If you are not in my life
Don't wanna live on this earth

Loving nobody else but you
If I cannot love you
What we shared together
Our past experiences together
Was beautiful
Were meaningful and enjoyable
I never felt
I have never experienced
Anything like our essence
A connection like the one we had
But if I can't have you
If I cannot be with you romantically
I'd rather be
I would prefer to be
In your presence
Around you
Crying these silent tears
Experiencing emotional pain privately
(I'll cry silent tears)

Oh, oh, oh

Without you in it
Loving nobody else but you

Oh I'm crying inside
I am experiencing emotional pain inwardly
Cause I don't know
Because I am uncertain
If you feel
If you have
The same way about me
The same romantic feelings for me
That I feel about you
That I have for you romantically
(Cry)
Repeating the crying inwardly
Baby this feeling
This intense emotion
Is so strong
Is overpowering
That I can't let you go
That I cannot move on from you
I can't
I cannot
Let you go
Move on from you
