When I asked you, you said nothing was wrong   But I listened to your magical song   All its notes were gone. You sang it, I heard   Silence Speaks a thousand words      You keep telling me I'll pay the price   For asking you once, and telling you twice   But I paid the day your emotions turned cold   Silence speaks a thousand words      [Chorus]   Where do I turn when you turn away   It's never just the things you say   You never, ever put me down   But when you speak, you turn around   And saying not much is saying alot      If you spoke truth, there would be no doubt   But the only words are "We'll work it out"   Well, that's not saying much, you just don't take the time   And that is where I draw the line      [Chorus]   Oh, where do I turn when you turn away   It's never just the things you say   You never, ever put me down   But when you speak, you turn around   And saying not much is saying alot      [Bridge]   You're sending signals, first of hope and then insecurity   Signals of doubt are everywhere, and subconciously   You know you wanna break the ties   But you use silence, you use lies   But don't worry, I'll return your song of silence      Silence speaks a thousand words      Silence speaks a thousand words
