In the silence of unspoken words
I waited so long for your response
And with each passing day, my heart felt more resistance
And so unbearable to bear in an instance
The weight of disappointment, a burden to dispense

With a smiling face, I hide it inside
And mask the sorrow that I cannot divide
Even the love, I can't invite
For fear of rejection, a risk I can't excite
A risk I can't take to be denied
And left with the ashes of a love that died

A love people assume I lied
And deny the truth that I've tried
Even though it seems you have been bribed
To conceal the truth and mask my pride
For my love to be just a ride
That takes me nowhere, except to tears and sighs

And the pain and agony that follows through
Like a shadow that haunts, both old and true
Even if it'll never be new
Still, I hold on to the fragments of you
And maybe you would be forgotten, like a dream that's lost in the end.
