Break the Silence
Richard Stirton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
to what we were, to what we had
and I know as bad as it may seem
what said is done, between you and me
we ran around in circles and hit a wall,
to hide and climb to fight and fall,
wonder if we should try it all,
to try it all
let's go somewhere quiet and break
the silence,
take you away, don't make
me wait,
let's go somewhere quiet and break the silence
and break the silence
I know we said we had enough
we giving in, and giving up
please wait before you say goodbye
there's one thing left
It's worth the try
we ran around in circles
we hit a wall, to hide and climb,
to fight and fall,
wonder if we should try it all, to try it all
nothing to say, no time to waste
lets go somewhere quiet and break the silence,
take you away don't make wait,
let's go somewhere quiet and break the silence
break the silence
break the silence
we ran around in circles, and hit a wall
to hide and climb, to fight and fall
I wonder if we could have it all, could have
it all
could have it all
nothing to say, no time to waste,
let's go somewhere quiet and break the silence
take you away, don't make me wait,
lets go somewhere quiet and break the silence
break the silence
break the silence
break the silence
