We Couldn'T Talk

The silence was so deafening as I longed to talk it out
You said nothing’s wrong, but left me with a doubt 

I gathered all my things and gave you back your key
You never thought to ask, why are you leaving me

Communication is at fault, it can take the blame
For talking this thing out, I am no longer game

Tried to make you understand, tried to make you see
That love is a two way street, not something that is easy

You wanted me to be someone that I won’t ever be
So it is better to leave it alone and so I’ll set you free

Is it over, are we through,you asked before I shut the door
Yes, I said, I just can’t take this silence anymore

The car is loaded now and I am pulling out of the drive
Tears burn my eyes, I don’t want you to see me cry

It’s over, yes it’s over, though it had never quite begun
We could never talk about us, so what’s done is done
