Please can't we talk, for this silence is killing me inside
Please don't just go, and leave me to want what is gone
Can't we just sit, and be adult, and human, and speak
I could even just listen, be silent, and hear what you want

Please can we simply agree to remain on opposing sides
Or can't we just say that you're right (my stupidity's clear?)
But I'm sensing it's useless, you don't want to try or to fight any more
Well, at least if you're going, there's something I want you to hear.

That,

for all of my life, my love, I will never forget
these words we didn't say
the silence between us, it cuts me like a knife
as I watch you walk away

Can't we just argue and suffer our worries and issues aside
Please can't we sleep on it, restart the battle another day
Please can't we put off the verdict you seem to have reached all alone
I could even just voice what I think you might want me to say

Well, for all of my life, my love, you should know I will never forget
These words we didn't say
The silence between us, it seems so unjust
My dreams just evaporate, crumble to dust
and all my summers fade to grey

oh, this silence between us, it cuts as a knife
as I watch you walk away.
