You told me twice, 'You never lie'
Said 'Cross my heart and hope to die'

You wait until the day begins
Close your eyes and hold it in
You feel it up against your will
'Cos no one told you that silence kills

Silence kills

It's been a week or maybe two
Locked away inside your room

With no emotions, slow decay
Never guessed you felt this way
You see the sun lies on the hills
But no one told you that silence kills

Silence kills

So wear a ribbon in your clothes
And hope that someone out there knows

So recoginise times of distress
And paralysing helplessness
Your finger's on the windowsill
'Cos no one told you that silence kills

Silence kills
