lyrics

(scared)

someone left a group i'm in in march and i said nothing
i saw the little message and i felt my whole chest close
i wanted to reach out and i could not find the sentence
so i did what everybody did to me and i said nothing

the silence was scared (was scared)
it was never cold, it was scared
i thought it was contempt, it was scared
it was scared

the silence was scared, the silence was scared
every worst thing i decided about people
the silence was scared, the silence was scared
was just somebody frozen at their phone like me

i wrote to her in january. ten months late. badly.
i said i saw in march, i just didn't know what to say.
she said "i know. i've done it too." that was the whole reply.
(build, strings, tension climbing)

the silence was scared, the silence was scared
every worst thing i decided about people
the silence was scared, the silence was scared
was just somebody frozen at their phone like me

(...like me)
