I’m tired of the silence, tired of the game
Of loving you without a name
Of being close but never known
Of standing still while you're long gone
You walk in rooms and light them up
While I sit still, just out of luck
I bite my tongue, I fake the smile
Been hiding this for quite a while
I’m not the one you talk about
But I’ve been here through fear and doubt
Watching you love someone who’s blind
While I scream quiet in my mind
I write your name in every page
Of songs that never leave this cage
I dream in whispers, never bold
Too scared my heart will come off cold
But silence cuts like broken glass
And time keeps dragging moments past
I can't pretend I’m not in pain
When every glance calls out your name
I’ve said it all in a million ways
But not once in the light of day
I’m tired of the silence, tired of the game
Of loving you without a name
Of being close but never known
Of standing still while you're long gone
I wanna shout it, wanna scream
That you’ve been living in my dreams
I’m breaking down, I can’t pretend
I want you more than just a friend
I could let go, I could turn around
But the echoes in me make no sound
Without your voice, the sea’s too wide
Yet here I stand against the tide
I’m tired of the silence, tired of the game
Of loving you without a name
Of being close but never known
Of standing still while you're long gone
I wanna shout it, wanna scream
That you’ve been living in my dreams
I’m breaking down, I can’t pretend
I want you more than just a friend
