if it's a promise then you have to let go
what you want to say could mean everything
and there's one thousand lines that you shouldn't know
i could shield you from this hurt

i knew the moment that I met you that day
when you came to me and you took my hand
i'd do whatever i could so you'd stay
so please stay with me

so speak
subtly, sublty or I won't know
which part of me should be getting over
both you and i you and i were just too young
for eyes you set your cold heart on

so speak
gently gently or I won't find
which part of you has me losing my mind
both you and i you and i were just too young
for eyes you set your cold heart on

and every word so hollow has become much too hard to follow
i could read your eyes and taste your lips
but neither one led me to this
and every night i slept alone with both of my hands fixed on my phone
it would kill me to not hear your voice
so the stereo's on to make some noise
