Please stop saying that you love me
Won't you leave my heart to rest
Now we live in darker days here
I can't bear to hold your hand

Silence is better than hearing you break my heart
Silence is better than the words that tear me apart
The aching of the night and the cold of the day
I can't help but let this slip away
Silence is better than hearing you break my heart

Please stop saying that you miss me
Can't you see I dying here?
Every word cuts a little bit deeper
Because I just can't have you near
No, I can't bear this

Silence is better than hearing you break my heart
Silence is better than the words that tear me apart
The aching of the night and the cold of the day
I can't help but let this slip away
Silence is better than hearing you break my heart

I cry but I can't bear to hear you
I miss your voice but I can't bear to hear you
You haven't got the words I need
But I still want you close to me
I was waiting here

Silence is better than hearing you break my heart
Silence is better than the words that tear me apart
The aching of the night and the cold of the day
I can't help but let this slip away
Silence is better than hearing you break my heart
