If Silence Means That Much to You

Текст песни Emma Pollock - If Silence Means That Much to You

If Silence Means That Much To You LyricsWe live for the greater
We live for the good
At least that's what I thought
She understood
So why then the phone call
The torrent of words
That dismissed the past decades
And deemed them absurd?

And what did you think about
Think about with her, her?
And what did you talk about
Talk about with her?
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
To remedy this thing for you
If silence means that much to you
I promise to keep silent, too
Bear in mind one final thing
The solitude that it will bring
If silence outlives everything
The residue will never thin

Deny me the first time
Deny me then twice
But not once again
If you value this life
The oldest is broken
The youngest clings on
But the middle tries hard
To still belong

And what did you think about
Think about with her, her?
And what did you talk about
Talk about with her?

There's nothing that I wouldn't do
To remedy this thing for you
If silence means that much to you
I promise to keep silent, too
Bear in mind one final thing
The solitude that it will bring
If silence outlives everything
The residue will never thin
Buried alive
And with nobody watching
Severed all ties
With the mother of lies
No circle of friends
No scattering ashes
Just hang up the line
And pray you'll be fine

And what did you think about
Think about with her, her?
And what did you talk about
Talk about with her?

There's nothing that I wouldn't do
To remedy this thing for you
If silence means that much to you
I promise to keep silent, too
Bear in mind one final thing
The solitude that it will bring
If silence outlives everything
The residue will never thin
