Lyrics

I would have changed things in a heartbeat if you’d only said the word
I would have left the past behind me, to be your only girl
I would have turned around in the speed of sound if you told me it was right, but
Silence sliced the quiet of the night

I should have told you that I loved you, but I never found the nerve
I listened as those whispers sang ‘you’re more than I deserved’
I should have stood my ground and stopped their sound but, I saved my foolish pride, and
Silence sliced the quiet of the night

We could have changed things in a heartbeat if we’d only said the word
We could have found our peace and comfort in this great big lonely world
Instead we drew the lines and we wasted time and when the light dims in the dark
Silence will slice the quiet of the night
Silence in the quiet of the night
