It's the smallest things
That have a tendency to hurt for the longest time
It's like you found a way inside


But this time I'm not going to follow you down
I'll fall in love with the sound

(I'm not going to follow you down)
So push me back and I'll stay the same
(I'm not going to follow you down)

And fall in love with the sound of silence

I'm armed but the gun is not loaded

I guess I could find my way out of this
But it's like you found a way inside
And I hate that I suspect you're right


But this time I'm not going to follow you down
I'll fall in love with the sound

(I'm not going to follow you down)
So push me back and I'll stay the same
(I'm not going to follow you down)

And fall in love with the sound of silence

Silence is golden

but golden teeth are so much sharper
It's not easy but I'm biting my tongue off
It's not easy but I'm biting my tongue off

It's not easy but I'm biting my tongue off
It's not easy but I'm biting my tongue off


Even though you're right
Your words lie
Even though you're right

Your words lie

But this time I'm not going to follow you down

I'll fall in love with the sound
(I'm not going to follow you down)
So push me back and I'll stay the same

(I'm not going to follow you down)
And fall in love with the sound of silence
