As we walk along the beach We're trying to talk just one more time And though it's hard to find the words I need to know what's on your mind You've become a silent stranger No more than just a passer-by Like the seagull on its way Flying high up in the sky We see the waves crash on the shore Silence tearing us apart Don't you hide in sorrow Don't you hang on the past 'Cause time and tide will wait for no one Life will pass you by too fast I thought we had a secret bond One that no one else could break But now I find myself confused By misunderstandings you create I need to see your other side now Although I know your mind's your own But in the silence where you hide You will always be alone And still the waves crash on the shore Silence tearing us apart Don't you hide in sorrow Don't you hang on the past 'Cause time and tide will wait for no one Life will pass you by too fast So let the sea predict your future And let emotion be your guide Step into the light When darkness creeps upon me And I've almost lost my way You take the path of least resistance When all I need is some words you say It seems silence has fallen between us You speak yet you don't say a word How can you so bluntly deny what I said And pretend that your pride has been hurt You know I am lonely Is it true that our love has run dry I know your words don't come too easy Is it too late to even try Oh love is never easy When silence stands in our way A constant battle of emotions We have to fight it every day Feels like stumbling on walls of frustration Can no one just break down your door Eruptions of anger and shadows of doubt Those feelings you've not had before Don't hide in sorrow Silent stranger step into the light Just open up, tell me your secrets And put an end to this silent fight
