Ilse DeLange - Drown Us Out

Something's living here beside us
Hovering around this place
Something's breathing up the air
Something's filling up the empty space
It's the honesty hiding
In the words we never say
Standing in the dark crying
Trying not to fade away

I know right now
It's too hard to say these things out loud
But if we don't break it down
It's the silence that will drown us out
Through the noise
It's been getting hard to hear your voice
It's such a lonely sound
Gotta find a way to turn it down
It's the silence that will drown us out

Drown us out

Day is like a distant friend
And the night is like an enemy
Am I the stranger in this bed
Or is the stranger lying next to me
I've been giving just enough
Having promised you the best of me
Just a shadow of our love
That is not what we need I know right now
It's too hard to say these things out loud
But if we don't break it down
It's the silence that will drown us out
Through the noise
It's been getting hard to hear your voice
It's such a lonely sound
Gotta find a way to turn it down
It's the silence that will drown us out

I can feel the water rising now
What you're holding onto, let it out
Even if the sky comes falling down
Falling down, falling down

I can feel the water rising now
What you're holding onto, let it out
Even if the sky comes falling down
Falling down, falling down

I know right now
It's too hard to say these things out loud
But if we don't break it down
It's the silence that will drown us out
