The time that you give me
Is next to nothing
So why even bother?
It has to end, no bluffing

I shouldn't need to explain
Why I can't do this any more
Its my life not a game
So why are you keeping a score?

You think I'm being silly
You say its absurd
But if silence is golden
Then why utter a word?

You can stand there glaring
At me in my place
You don't have to say a word
I can read your face

It doesn't matter
Theres nothing left to say
We don't see eye to eye
My pride gets in your way

I prefer the silence
Maybe I'll shut my eyes
Time will still go on
No matter how hard one tries

Do you hear what I say
In my silent tone?
I'd like for you to go now
Just leave me alone

You had your chance
And many, many more
But I'm tired of this
And I've said it before
