[Verse 1]
Cut through the skin with knives of words
I'm still bleeding out questions of nerve!
What will it take to sort this out?
It's still lodging its blade in my heart!

[Chorus]
Silence hurts more than the worst sound
(Now it's too late to call!)
Say I'm wrong and throw the first round
I'm still falling down

[Verse 2]
Fill out the papers, file the forms
And I'm signing you up for the war!
This is the way we've learned to cope
Insecurities take over hope!

[Chorus]
Silence hurts more than the worst sound
(Now it's too late to call!)
Say I'm wrong and throw the first round
I'm still falling down

[Bridge]
I can see
You and me on the water tonight
Blood red sky
Let's me know
You'll be here and tomorrow
(I can see)
When you wake up
We can start again
(You and me on the water tonight)
We have so much
(Blood red sky)
Left to learn from all of our mistakes
(Let's me know)
You can trust me
I won't give up
I won't let you go

[Break]
Cut through the skin with knives of words

[Chorus]
Silence hurts more than the worst sound
(Now it's too late to call!)
Say I'm wrong and throw the first round
I'm still falling down (falling down!)
Silence hurts more than the worst sound (You and me)
(Now it's too late to call!)
Say I'm wrong and throw the first round
I'm still falling down!
