Analysis of Silence
You said you'd be there
You said u cared
You promised to help me in my time of need
That time has come
And I kept silent
Though u'd notice
Though u'd know
I'm breaking down
Nowhere to turn to
So I kept silent
As if everything was fine
Wish ud know
What I'm feeling
Thought u'd notice
Thought u'd know
So I kept still
I kept silent
Waiting for you to hold me
Waiting for you to be there
You said you'd be there
You said u cared
You promised to help me in my time of need
So I kept silent
Waiting
Waiting
Waiting
