I've never heard silence quite this loud...

I used to think one day we'd tell the story of us,
How we met and the sparks flew instantly,
And people would say they're the lucky ones.
I used to know my place, was a spot next to you,
Now I'm searching the room for an empty seat,
'Cause lately I don't even know what page you're on.

A simple complication,
Miscommunications lead to fall-out.
So many things that I wish you knew,
So many walls that I can't break through.

Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room
And we're not speaking,
And I'm dying to know is it killing you
Like it's killing me, yeah.
I don't know what to say, it's a twist of fate when it all broke down,
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now.

Next chapter

How'd we end up this way?
See me nervously pulling at my clothes and trying to look busy,
And you're doing your best to avoid me.
I started to think one day I'd tell the story of us,
How I was losing my mind when I saw you here,
But you held your pride like you should've held me.

I'm scared to see the ending,
Why are we pretending this is nothing?
I'd tell you I miss you but I don't know how,
I've never heard silence quite this loud.

Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room
And we're not speaking,
And I'm dying to know is it killing you
Like it's killing me, yeah.
I don't know what to say, it's a twist of fate when it all broke down,
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now.

This is looking like a contest,
Of who can act like the careless,
But I liked it better when you were on my side.
The battle's in your hands now,
But I would lay my armor down
If you say you'd rather love than fight.

So many things that you wished I knew,
But the story of us might be ending soon...

Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room
And we're not speaking,
And I'm dying to know is it killing you
Like it's killing me, yeah.
I don't know what to say, it's a twist of fate when it all broke down,
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now, now, now...
And we're not speaking,
And I'm dying to know is it killing you
Like it's killing me, yeah.
I don't know what to say, it's a twist of fate 'cause we're going down,
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now.

The end.
