The Silent Treatment

Cold night – again –
A silent night in gloomy spring
When birds reappear
To rest their feathered dying wings

We caught each other brief
In the mist of alcohol
But you've made up your mind
Why I really can't recall

But why are you
So good at this

But I see you
So obvious

You stopped in my tracks
With silence
And I can never pay you back
With silence

How could I be so wrong
With silence
And I'm destined to your song
With silence

You make it very clear
With silence
With words, without fear
With silence

So I lost it all on you
With silence
How many years can I do
With silence

My mind warms up
We spoke in the hall
I'm lost

Awkward at first
But then you said
They're watching us
But who are they
I asked – and they're her friends
They think you'll run away
"They think I'll run away with you"

I'm shadowed by you
No matter if I come or go
My head's half in two
You peel me like exotic fruits

The empty text bubble
Why can't I accept the facts
To be an adult
Let time erase whatever we had

But why are you
So good at this

But I see you
So obvious

You stopped in my tracks
With silence
And I can never pay you back
With silence

How could I be so wrong
With silence
And I'm destined to your song
With silence

You make it very clear
With silence
With words, without fear
With silence

So I lost it all on you
With silence
How many years can I do
With silence

You stopped in my tracks
With silence
And I can never pay you back
With silence

How could I be so wrong
With silence
And I'm destined to your song
With silence

You make it very clear
With silence
With words, without fear
With silence

So I lost it all on you
With silence
How many years can I do
With silence

You stopped in my tracks
With silence
And I can never pay you back
With silence

How could I be so wrong
With silence
And I'm destined to your song
With silence

You make it very clear
With silence
With words, without fear
With silence

So I lost it all on you
With silence
How many years can I do
With silence
