When I asked you, you said nothing was wrong But I listened to your magical song All its notes were gone You sang it, I heard it Silence means a thousand words You keep telling me I'll pay the price For asking you once And telling you twice Living the day Though emotions turn cold Silence means a thousand words When you turn, when you turn away It's never just the things you say You never ever put me down But when you speak, you turn around And say not much, and say not If you spoke the truth There would be no doubt But the only words are We'll work it out Well, that's not saying much You just don't take the time And that is where I draw the line When you turn, when you turn away It's never just the things you say You never ever put me down But when you speak, you turn around And say not much, and say not You're sending signals First of hope, then insecurity Signals of doubt are everywhere And subconsciously You know you wanna break the ties But you use silence, you use lies Don't worry, I don't use all of silence Silence Silence means a thousand words Silence means a thousand words
