Silence Ain't Golden Anymore

Far too many times

We hold things deep inside

Feelings stay hidden

While a chance for love slips by

And when it gets too late

You ask the reason why

You couldn't say a word

You didn't say one damn word

The sound of your silence

Was all she heard

She flew away like a speckled bird

You can kiss that train goodbye

And then silence ain't golden anymore

Well, you can't run

And you can't hide from the truth no more

If you love someone you gotta tell 'em about it

Don't think they've heard it all before

And then silence ain't golden anymore

The pain you run away from

You never will relieve

Gotta keep on fighting

For the things that you believe in

'Cause there's someone out there

Waiting to receive

But if you don't say a word

You don't say one damn word

The sound of your silence

Is all she heard

She'll fly away like a speckled bird

You can kiss that train goodbye

Because silence ain't golden anymore

Well, you can't run

And you can't hide from the truth no more

Sometimes the words from deep in your heart

Are the easiest to ignore

Oh, but silence ain't golden

No, it just ain't golden

Silence ain't golden anymore
