Lyrics
The Damage that your silence does
Is crippling
Criminal
The damage that your silence brings
It?s criminal
Crippling
I dialed you number one more time
I guess for luck
Prayin? you?ll astound me
And finally pick it up
But - the droning of the ring
There?s only silence
And the damage that it?s doin? to me
Is quiet
Yet so violent
Well, what I did was wrong
I never claimed to be strong
But I?m payin? now and
I suffer
Oh, so well
It?s almost like I love it
I try to rise above it ?
Forgive me, please
Just one last time
Please?
?Cuz it ? hadda be me
It couldn?t have to do with you
I drive everyone away
With the evil things I do
The damage that your silence brings
No one can see
But it always comes home
Straight on back to me
Eventually?
.
The Damage that your silence does
Is crippling
Criminal
Well, what I did was wrong
I never claimed to be strong
But I?m payin? now and
I suffer
Oh, so well
It?s almost like I love it
I try to rise above it ?
Forgive me, please
Just one last time
Please
?Cuz I?m tryin? to connect
I try to every day
But everyone I touch
I seem to poison in some way
I feel so toxic
And yet I want your trust
Nothin? I can say or do ?
Will be enough
Be enough.
The Damage that your silence does
Is crippling
Criminal
The damage that your silence brings
It?s criminal
Crippling
