Silence Speaks
Brooke Eden Lyrics

I can be a mess
I am aware that I am not always easy to deal with.

I can go to my best friend's house
I have a support system that I can rely on when I am feeling down.

We can eat ice cream on the couch
Simple things can bring comfort during difficult times.

I can cry all night, lose sleep, feeling sorry for myself
It is okay to feel sad and take time to process my emotions.

I can carve my name in the side of your brand new truck
I am capable of acting impulsively and destructively when hurt.

I can call your new girl, I can tell her what's up
I could try to hurt you by messing with your new relationship, but I won't stoop that low.

Set your house on fire
I understand the consequences of my actions and will not take them that far.

Call your mamma say I'm sorry that her sons a liar
I know my behavior affects those around you, and I am sorry for that.

I won't 'cause I ain't crazy
I have control over my actions and will not cross certain lines, despite feeling hurt.

I'm a classy lady and
I hold myself to a certain standard and refuse to lower it.

I ain't wasting no more time on you
I am moving on from this and will not dwell on it any longer.

I bet you're expecting some psycho ex-girlfriend
You may expect me to behave irrationally, but I am better than that.

But I don't need words when silence speaks
My absence and lack of contact is a clear message in itself.

Louder than I hate you, I never wanna see you again
My silence is more powerful than any negative words I could say.

And hell no sugar we ain't never gonna be friends no
I am not interested in maintaining a relationship with you, even platonically.

I know you're waiting for my drunk dial
You anticipate me reaching out to you when I am emotional and vulnerable.

Saying come and pick me up from the bar
You expect me to need you and seek comfort in your presence.

'Cause I'm lonely and I need your love
You assume that I am only reaching out because I am alone and seeking validation.

I want you back
I do miss certain things about our relationship, but it is not worth going back to.

You're the best I ever had and all that but no-o-o-o
I acknowledge the good aspects of our relationship, but I am still not interested in rekindling it.

I said I hate you, I never wanna see you again
I do not feel any positive emotions towards you and would prefer to never cross paths.

And hell no sugar we ain't never gonna be friends
My lack of interest in friendship with you is unwavering and final.

I could forgive and forget and take you back
I may be capable of forgiving and letting go of certain things, but I still won't pursue a relationship with you again.

And act like this ain't never happened
I may move on from this, but I will never forget how you treated me.

I bet you're expecting some psycho ex-girlfriend
My actions, or lack thereof, may be surprising to you.

But I don't need words when silence speaks
Silence can speak volumes and sometimes is the most powerful message.

Louder than I hate you, I never wanna see you again
My silence says more than any words I could use to express my feelings.
