lyrics

Oh West:
Verse 1:
I know I can't pretend
This all wasn't my fault
So I'll meet you tonight
We'll tape up our eyes
So we can’t see who’s wrong
Still most times I can't cry
I just sing some old song
And hope melodic disguise
Makes me realize
What I couldn't say out loud

When you’re lost just pretend and keep it down, it down low, keep it down low (x2)

Chorus:
Hold me close
We’ll sing silence tonight so we don’t feel love
Cause I am so afraid of it
Cause I am so afraid of it
Though I know that if we just tried then we could sing out loud
But I am so afraid of it
But I am so afraid of it

Verse 2:

April nights I'd want to see your face but I, I wasn’t strong enough
Kept the time by thinking of anything but us to keep the silence up (x2)

Chorus:
Hold me close
We’ll sing silence tonight so we don’t feel love
Cause I am so afraid of it
Cause I am so afraid of it
Though I know that if we just tried then we could sing out loud
But I am so afraid of it
But I am so afraid of it

Bridge:
I know I cant pretend this all wasn’t my fault
When I call you, when I call you, when I call you (x2)

And I think i will

Still most times I can’t cry
I just sing some old song
But I’ll meet you tonight
We’ll lose this disguise and the silence will go

Chorus:
Hold me close
We’ll sing silence tonight so we don’t feel love
Cause I am so afraid of it
Cause I am so afraid of it
Though I know that if we just tried then we could sing out loud
But I am so afraid of it
But I am so afraid of it
