Silent Stranger

As we walk along the beach
We’re trying to talk just one more time
And though it’s hard to find the words
I need to know what’s on your mind
You’ve become a silent stranger
No more than just a passer-by
Like the seagull on its way
Flying high up in the sky
We see the waves crash on the shore
Silence tearing us apart

Don’t you hide in sorrow
Don’t you hang on the past
‘Cause time and tide will wait for no one
Life will pass you by too fast

I thought we had a secret bond
One that no one else could break
But now I find myself confused
By misunderstandings you create
I need to see your other side now
Although I know your mind’s your own
But in the silence where you hide
You will always be alone
And still the waves crash on the shore
Silence tearing us apart

Don’t you hide in sorrow
Don’t you hang on the past
‘Cause time and tide will wait for no one
Life will pass you by too fast
So let the sea predict your future
And let emotion be your guide
Step into the light

When darkness creeps upon me
And I’ve almost lost my way
You take the path of least resistance
When all I need is some words you say

It seems silence has fallen between us
You speak yet you don’t say a word
How can you so bluntly deny what I said
And pretend that your pride has been hurt

You know I am lonely
Is it true that our love has run dry
I know your words don’t come too easy
Is it too late to even try

Oh love is never easy
When silence stands in our way
A constant battle of emotions
We have to fight it every day

Feels like stumbling on walls of frustration
Can no one just break down your door
Eruptions of anger and shadows of doubt
Those feelings you’ve not had before

Don’t hide in sorrow
Silent stranger step into the light
Just open up, tell me your secrets
And put an end to this silent fight
