Silence



I used to picture my life
I wanted to be your love, your wife.
I never pictured my life...
Bein betrayed all the time with your knife

You know what you do.
You take a plan and your execute it perfectly.
You know i know what you do
But you keep serving me up so quietly.

I just want my life back.
I want to be happy.
I just want my smile back.
I used to think love could be easy.
I tell you you've hurt me and all I hear is silence.
I tell you that I need you
And all I hear is silence
I used to picture my life...
This ain't how I pictured my life, as your wife.

Why do you choose to hurt me?
Why do you put everything before me?
I just want my life....
To feel right...

Silence is just a game you play
When you get caught and don't get your way.
You throw me out like I don't mean nothing
And now here we are...

I used to be picture my life...
I would make the perfect wife...
For that somebody.
Someone who deserved me.
And baby you just desert me.
I gave you all that I know what to give.
And all this Silence, got me not wanting to live.

I swear if it weren't for my babies.
I would not be here.
If I had a dollar for every tear  I shed over you, I wouldn't be here.
Give me something.
Something to beleive in.
Give me something to just make me feel again.
Silence. Is dangerous. It makes me think about all I don't have.
But I just can't get it back.
All I have is Silence.
Silence.
Silence.
Silence.
Quiet..
It's to quiet....
This Silence between us.
