[ Featuring Lee Michael McNamara ]
[Verse 1]
You keep trying to explain
But your words just sound the same
Every time we fight, it's a losing game
You say you're sorry, but I don't believe it
Why can't we just be quiet for a minute?
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't need your stories, don't need your tears
Silence says more than I'll ever hear
Just hold me, let the truth disappear
Yeah, let's leave the noise behind
[Chorus]
Don't speak (don't speak)
Don't speak (don't speak)
Just lie here next to me (don't speak)
I'm tired of your lying
I like you better when you're asleep
So don't speak (don't speak)
Don't speak (don't speak)
It's not your words I need (I need)
A little less emotion
I like you better when you're asleep
[Verse 2]
You say everything's fine
But your eyes, they tell a lie
All this talking, it just buys us time
We've been running in circles forever
Maybe silence is better together
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't need confessions, don't need your fears
We're breaking down and it's so clear
Just hold me, let's make this moment last
Yeah, let's let the noise fade fast
[Chorus]
Don't speak (don't speak)
Don't speak (don't speak)
Just lie here next to me (don't speak)
I'm tired of your lying
I like you better when you're asleep
So don't speak (don't speak)
Don't speak (don't speak)
It's not your words I need (I need)
A little less emotion
I like you better when you're asleep
[Verse 3]
We've been down this road before
Talking only leads to more
Of the same old scars we can't ignore
I don't want apologies, or empty vows
I just want the quiet here and now
[Bridge]
Close your eyes, just feel the night
We don't need to make it right
Words won't change what's wrong inside
So let's just drift away
Yeah, let's just drift away
[Chorus]
Don't speak (don't speak)
Don't speak (don't speak)
Just lie here next to me (don't speak)
I'm tired of your lying
I like you better when you're asleep
So don't speak (don't speak)
Don't speak (don't speak)
It's not your words I need (I need)
A little less emotion
I like you better when you're asleep
[Outro]
No more words, no more lies
Let the silence fill the sky
Just close your eyes and breathe tonight
I like you better when you're asleep
I like you better when you're asleep
So don't speak...
Don't speak...
