The Silence

We're stuck here at arm's length
I feel like it's draining all my strength
I left you here to see how you'll make it on your own
The worst part of my life
I still think about you all the time
But I kept you cold till I found out how to make it alone

But how could I have known?
How could I have known?

A sad song, a breakbeat
Turn it up until the whole place starts to shake
The silence can be a reminder that you are on your own

I'm trying a method so I can find and take your perspective
And understand how you've been so good at keeping your cool

But how could I have known?
How could I have known?

I'm happy to see you
But I have to think twice before I believe you
When you look me in the eye and say that you've never looked back

It's hardly even conscious it's hard for me to get her
It's not for me to try and make her feel better
Fall back into those habits that I left because they took me off track

But how could I have known?
How could I have known?

How could I have known that you loved me
When you treated me like that?
You never showed me the meaning of everything you wanted back
So just take a moment and think through everything you'll say
But don't tell me you're sorry 'cos you know I won't see it that way

I've got to let you go
I've got to let you go
