I sigh and see an echo
Of who I used to be
You never knew to let go
Or treat me patiently
Anyway
You were an addiction
Buried in my head
A torturous affliction
I'd be better of dead
Any day
Goddamn!
I can't stand this
The cycle can repeat, but the story's always gotta end
Fading so fast
I feel like I'm dying
And you're on the mend
The silence is killing me
But when you start to talk I wish you couldn't breathe
You said "you're hesitating"
Well, I was waiting
That's all I ever am when you're around
It really makes me wonder
When I'm drowning on dry land
When the current pulls me under
You're nowhere to be found
Anyway
I need to say
Goddamn!
Aren't you aching?
Looking right at me like there's no more blood in your face
Whatever you say
We can wage war until we're both erased
The silence is killing me
But when you start to talk I wish you couldn't breathe
You said "you're hesitating"
Well, I was waiting
That's all I ever am when you're around
And yet I think of those as better days
The ones where every step I took led me further out of place
Always moving past it one more time
The silence is killing me
But then I hear your voice and fall down to my knees
The silence is killing me
But when you start to talk I wish you couldn't breathe
You said "you're hesitating"
Well, was waiting
That's all I ever am when you're around
And if you're relating
I'm not complaining
I guess what goes around has come around
