Silent
The Blackout Lyrics

Please don't say it's over today
The singer does not want the person they are addressing to say that their relationship is over.

I never wanted to walk away
The singer did not want to end the relationship.

I never asked to anyway

Please don't make, don't make this mistake

Do I have what it takes to stay?

We're silent, we're silent
The couple is not communicating with each other.

We're silent when we speak
Even when they are speaking out loud, they are not truly communicating or understanding each other.

This silence is killing me

Time and time again

So take my hand, I'm falling to pieces

Make me understand, I want to believe it

When the end began, I can't be on my own

When it all turned into sand, don't leave me alone

Please don't say, time and time again

It's over today, time and time again

I never wanted to walk away, time and time again

I never asked you anyway, time and time again
