Battle of silence

We told each other: "I love you" loud and proud;
Then we dropped our cards on the table.
What you gave was not what I wanted,
and what I did was not what you asked for.

Now you tell me you need to find yourself,
while you're leaving me out to dry.
Even with your hands shackled to mine
you insist that it's your own fight.

Pride is the keeper
to the treasures of your heart.
But nothing could possibly harm you,
if you had nothing to lose from the start.

(Am Em7 Dm7 Fmaj7 G)
This battle of silence
taking a toll on my soul.
So darling now tell me,
Are you enjoying this you fool?

(Am C F D7 E7)
Let your guard down baby
'cos my arm's already around you.
Set your troubles free
and let me dry your tears while I hold you.

Let your pride go baby,
Cos we're no better than each other.
Just two lost mice in this maze:
So come on let's break out together.

Together.....
Together.....
Together.....
Oh together.....

(C Em7 Dm7 Fmaj7)
You're turning a cold shoulder
'cos you're afraid of seeing mine.
And now you can't have my embrace
even when you know you want it.

(Am Em7 Dm7 Fmaj7 G)
I'm still asking "are you happy?"
while you stare at me timidly.
If we both care like we say we do
then damn it maybe we should act like we do!

(Am C F D7 E7)
Let your guard down baby,
Cos my arm's already around you.
Set your troubles free
and let me dry your tears while I hold you.

Let your pride go baby,
Cos we're no better than each other.
Just two lost mice in this maze:
So come on let's break out together.

Together.....
Together.....
Let's get out of the gutter together,
and make something beautiful...

Let's get out of the gutter together,
and make something beautiful...
Make something beautiful.....
Oh... beautiful....

Oh... beautiful....

Driving through the highways of our minds
There's a fence to my left with posts far apart
I see letters written on those posts
As I pass by each one, I read them out:

There: what I wanted to say;
and there: what I actually said;
oh and there: what I thought I said;
and there: what you thought I said...

Oh here: what you wish I'd said;
and here: what I wish I'd said;
and here: what you wish I'd done;
oh and here: what I wish I'd done...

They're all too far apart...
