lyrics

(november)

she wrote to me in november, just to me, not to the six
she said i noticed in august, i just didn't know the words
and every awful thing i built inside those months
came apart in one sentence from a woman who was scared

the reply, the reply (the reply)
three months late, the reply
i had already written the ending, the reply
the reply

the reply, the reply, the reply, the reply
i was so sure that silence was an answer
the reply, the reply, the reply, the reply
and silence was just somebody being frightened too

i have done it. i have been the one who didn't write.
someone left a chat in march and i saw it and i froze.
i was the silence once. i never thought of it like that.
(build, strings, tension climbing)

the reply, the reply, the reply, the reply
i was so sure that silence was an answer
the reply, the reply, the reply, the reply
and silence was just somebody being frightened too

(...frightened too)
