From the recording The Marvelous Mister Wasco
Lyrics
In your arms she waits to hear “I Love You”
And it all falls apart when you don’t speak
In your callused hand a heart is breakin’
You couldn’t see that the heart was your own
Your silence broke you
Your silence broke you in two
Every night you see her walk out the door
And as you lie awake in the darkness
Emptiness becomes your only shelter
You couldn’t find the strength to pick up the phone, no
Your silence broke you
Your silence broke you - it broke her too
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
So many nights she’d sleep next to the phone
Waiting for the call you never made
And when that final teardrop escapes her
From her memory you will fade, oh
Your silence broke you
Your silence broke you in two
Your Silence broke you
Your silence broke you
