When You Go Quiet

You say I can read you like a book

That no one knows you better or hangs on every letter

I look out for you and you for me.

But there's one thing that you do gives you away

There's one thing that you when you're not ok

You don't bang on the walls 

You don't return my calls 

 

Chorus 

When you go quiet 

That's when I know you need to talk 

When you go quiet 

Let's get out and take a walk 

And let me know 

That there's something on your mind when you go quiet 

 

I know how your mind works when you're down

You think that you're not loved 

That you ain't good enough

You fight back the only way you know 

You go inside yourself and close the door 

Well that ain't how we're going to win this war.

We've all got our ways 

And I know yours these days

 

chorus 

 

Well take the train uptown and lie down in the park 

 

You go inside yourself and close the door 

That ain't how we're going to win this war

We've all got our ways 

And I know yours these days

 

When you go quiet 

Well come on don't go all the way 

And let me see 

If I can make it go away 

I bet I can  

CauseI feel so much for you when you go quiet 

When you go quiet
