I want to tell him how much I care
I really want to, but I don’t dare
I will not be the reason for his crying,
instead of this, I prefer the lying
I say to him "go be with her,
make her smile, make her world"

I can’t bare it, I’m so tired
Of lighting up this invented fire
So many times it has faded away
All the times I hoped he’d stay

But he’ll never stay here in my arms,
he'll never keep me safe from harm
For him I’ll always be number two,
it doesn’t matter what I do
Someone help me, I need guidance,
For I can only speak the language of silence.
