"Parting Ways" lyrics
(It's not the words that you say, it's the silence that's killing me
So I close my eyes... still, I see you in everything.
I wish that everyone knew what we have been through
So I close my eyes and letting go of the love for you)
Are you even really listening to the words that I say, or do you just pretend?
Because I know that everything dies in the end
The passage of time — it all fucking bends
The walls are closing in
It's either sink or swim
It's not the end of the fucking world
But to watch you leave was the end of me
I feel the need to make it crystal clear: I never meant to let you go
But you told me so
It's fucking criminal
It's fucking criminal
It's not the words that you say, it's the silence that's killing me
So I close my eyes... still, I see you in everything
I wish that everyone knew what we have been through
So when I close my eyes and letting go of the love for you
Now the silence speaks louder than words
The panic it gives — it all will return
I am so sick of this
We will never bloom
We're strangers in a room
I never thought that I would find a reason why
To find myself just disappear
I never made believe that the death of me
Would ever be so clear
The walls are closing in
It's either sink or swim
It's either stop or begin
So make your move
It's not the words that you say, it's the silence that's killing me
So I close my eyes... still, I see you in everything.
I wish that everyone knew what we have been through
So I close my eyes and letting go of the love for you
You talk and you talk about the things
We never seemed to talk about
My tongue is made of knots
Because you always leave me speechless
Maybe it's me being silent
Or maybe it's you not listening
But it's not letting go when there's nothing left to hold
So don't hold on to the memories of our yesterday
Or the illusion that our love would stay
'Cause nothing holds when you're parting ways like this
The memories of our yesterday
Is the illusion that our love would stay
And nothing holds when you're parting ways like this
So I close my eyes... still, I see you in everything.
I wish that everyone knew what we have been through
So I close my eyes and letting go of the love for you)
Are you even really listening to the words that I say, or do you just pretend?
Because I know that everything dies in the end
The passage of time — it all fucking bends
The walls are closing in
It's either sink or swim
It's not the end of the fucking world
But to watch you leave was the end of me
I feel the need to make it crystal clear: I never meant to let you go
But you told me so
It's fucking criminal
It's fucking criminal
It's not the words that you say, it's the silence that's killing me
So I close my eyes... still, I see you in everything
I wish that everyone knew what we have been through
So when I close my eyes and letting go of the love for you
Now the silence speaks louder than words
The panic it gives — it all will return
I am so sick of this
We will never bloom
We're strangers in a room
I never thought that I would find a reason why
To find myself just disappear
I never made believe that the death of me
Would ever be so clear
The walls are closing in
It's either sink or swim
It's either stop or begin
So make your move
It's not the words that you say, it's the silence that's killing me
So I close my eyes... still, I see you in everything.
I wish that everyone knew what we have been through
So I close my eyes and letting go of the love for you
You talk and you talk about the things
We never seemed to talk about
My tongue is made of knots
Because you always leave me speechless
Maybe it's me being silent
Or maybe it's you not listening
But it's not letting go when there's nothing left to hold
So don't hold on to the memories of our yesterday
Or the illusion that our love would stay
'Cause nothing holds when you're parting ways like this
The memories of our yesterday
Is the illusion that our love would stay
And nothing holds when you're parting ways like this
