lyrics

there will come a time
when the haze clears
you'll once again mind
that he's nowhere near
...you...
will have empty arms
and no one to fill them
this time you took it too far
and now you understand that...

he wasn't trying to hold you back
he was just trying to hold on
I wasn't trying to hold you back
I was just trying to hold on

if silence is golden,
this evening's been platinum
what did you do with my hopes
after you flattened them?

so now do you see
what all of the fuss was about?
you're where you're "supposed to be"
you finally managed to make it out
of your cozy home
and his warm embrace
now you're all alone
but at least you did it with grace

he wasn't trying to hold you back
he was just trying to hold on
I wasn't trying to hold you back
I was just trying to hold on

I don't talk shit; I talk facts
I've got a sense of logic that you lack
so hand over the keys, and open your eyes

if silence is golden,
this evening's been platinum
what did you do with my dreams
after you flattened them?

I don't wanna see your pretty face under this coastal moonlight again
you gave me up at an alarming pace, far quicker than I would have imagined
there's no impending harm, or impending danger
so why must you act like your life depends on treating me like a stranger?

forget what you knew
and I'll forget what I knew too
'cause all bets are off
all alliances broken
is this what it costs
to become outspoken?
'cause I don't think it's worth it
no, I don't think you're worth this
