(Ayy, yoh)
I try, I really try, but silence is golden
You don't know when to stop
Early morning, you starting the drama
Talking 'bout things that happened last summer
My head is spinning, I’m feeling the heat
You won't let a man rest, even in his sleep
I sit in the corner, I’m biting my tongue
While you keep on singing the songs that you've sung
Every single word like a thorn in my side
There’s nowhere for a man to run and to hide
'Cause I can’t stay where the words never end
I’m losing my mind, I’m losing my friend
It’s too much talk, babe, it’s drowning the soul
I need some peace, I need some control
Yeah, too much talk, it’s cutting me deep
Promises broken, promises to keep
But silence is heavy when you’re in the room
I’m walking away, escaping the gloom
I wanted a partner, I wanted a heart
But you turned our love into a work of art
Of gossip and noise and things you don't need
I’m planting the garden, you’re planting the weed
I look at the wall, I look at the door
I don’t think I’m loving this life anymore
Maybe it’s better if we just depart
Before you shatter the rest of my heart
'Cause I can’t stay where the words never end
I’m losing my mind, I’m losing my friend
It’s too much talk, babe, it’s drowning the soul
I need some peace, I need some control
Yeah, too much talk, it’s cutting me deep
Promises broken, promises to keep
But silence is heavy when you’re in the room
I’m walking away, escaping the gloom
Can we just breathe for a minute or two?
Is it so hard to just be with you?
Without the static, without the parade
Of all of the statements that you have just made
I’m out of the door
(Yoh)
No more talk, just the sound of the rain
Goodbye to the noise, goodbye to the pain
(Ayy, it’s over now)
