If Silence Means That Much To You Lyrics - Watch The Fireworks - Emma Pollock

We live for the greater, We live for the good 

At least that's what I thought, She understood 

So why then the phone call, The torrent of words 

That dismissed the past decades, And deemed them absurd? 

And what did you think about, Think about with her? 

And what did you talk about, Talk about with her? 

There's nothing that I wouldn't do, To remedy this thing for you 

If silence means that much to you, Then I promise to keep silent, too 

Bear in mind one final thing, The solitude that it will bring 

If silence outlives everything, The residue will never thin 

Deny me the first time, Deny me then twice 

But not once again, If you value this life 

The oldest is broken, The youngest clings on 

But the middle tries hard, To still belong 

And what did you think about, Think about with her? 

And what did you talk about, Talk about with her? 

There's nothing that I wouldn't do, To remedy this thing for you 

If silence means that much to you, Then I promise to keep silent, too 

Bear in mind one final thing, The solitude that it will bring 

If silence outlives everything, The residue will never thin 

Buried alive, And with nobody watching 

Severed all ties, With the mother of lies 

No circle of friends, No scattering ashes 

Just hang up the line, And pray you'll be fine 

And what did you think about, Think about with her? 

And what did you talk about, Talk about with her? 

There's nothing that I wouldn't do, To remedy this thing for you 

If silence means that much to you, Then I promise to keep silent, too 

Bear in mind one final thing, The solitude that it will bring 

If silence outlives everything, The residue will never thin
