Silence Is What Speaks

My heart is beating but it's such a hallow noise
I let you go but don't you know it wasn't my choice?
Pushed me away what else could I do?
It's all my fault, why don't you tell me something new

I've been through this one too many times
I always seem to cross that invisible line
The point of no return, maybe this time I'll learn
The flames get hotter the longer they burn

Walked into your trap, eyes open wide
Or that's what I thought but I think I was blind
So pointless, so hopeless, such a waste of time
This game called love is for those who've lost their mind

Told myself I wouldn't fall for you, I was already down
What's the point of words if I'm speaking to the ground
The last time we spoke has been days, weeks
You said you loved me...Your silence is what speaks
