Dm F C G
I used to think that love is loud,
Dm F C G
But silence speaks the truth somehow.
Dm F C G
A thousand friends when skies are blue
Dm F C G
But when it rains, where are they too?

But life's a game of who's still there

I look around who's looking too?

Out of sight, they let you go

But silence answered when I'd fall.

Politeness lost in bitter tone,

The crowd feels full but you're all alone.

The same old world, a little torn.

In simple truths that time defined!

But I won't let that harden me!

For something real behind disguise!
