Verse

I can't get any closer to you
But I'll go away at the slightest sound
If you'll let me, I'll be listening
Your painful addiction, residing in guilt
Never lose sight in who you used to be
And I'll sit here and pretend not to notice
Until you need me
You're losing all your passion for this life

Chorus

This place wasn't made to hold the both of us
We're still discovering silence

Sacred silence is nowhere to be found
These awkward glances of the past
Settle deep now
Carrying burdens at half-mast
Settling for the less than ideal
You build me up slowly and let me down

Verse Two

Maybe I will do what you ask of me
A little unsure of where you're at
Right now I fear of where your headed
An introduction to disappointment, I guess
You're no longer easy to understand
It's where it's at; you're heart should know
Until you need me
Don't send me another lie before you go

Chorus Two

This place wasn't made to hold the both of us
We're still discovering silence
Sacred silence is nowhere to be found
These awkward glances of the past
Settle deep now
Carrying burdens at half-mast
Settling for the less than ideal
You build me up slowly and let me down

Bridge

It's not like you've seen it all
Assurance can be earned from me to you
But it's not like that
Would you think of me?
I can't think of a reason to walk away (And neither should you)
And with no such luck (You keep me spinning inside)
You don't miss much
But I still want you in my life

Outro

You made a promise in the dark
The secret there is waiting, make your move
This used to be ours, we used to be ourselves
Because the wall around your heart
Is breaking down your defenses, build me up
With your excuses and love like you mean it
Don't let me down
