Art Of Silence

Maybe you should learn the art of silence

The gift of knowing when to stay quiet

When you’re talking as much as me,

you’re bound to say some things that you don’t mean

But forgive it all

The things that you don’t say, they can be violence

Been hoping that you’d say them for a while now

You’ve known me all these years,

so how’d you find it hard to be sincere

You say nothing at all

Why is it so hard for you to tell me something real

Why is it so hard for you to say how you really feel

Maybe you should learn the art of silence

You don’t just have to laugh out of politeness

You’ve lost track of times that you’ve tried

But you never seem to get it right

Though you give it all

The things that you don’t say, they can be violence

Been hoping that you’d say them for a while now
