SILENCE SPEAKS (A THOUSAND WORDS)

performed by: Debbie Gibson

written by:   Deborah Gibson





Verse 1:

When I asked you

you said nothing was wrong

But I listened to your magical song

All its notes were gone

You sang it, I heard

Silence speaks a thousand words



Verse 2:

You keep telling me

I'll pay the price

for asking you once

and telling you twice

But I paid the day your emotions turned cold

Silence speaks a thousand words



Chorus:

Where do I turn when you turn away

it's never just the things you say

You never ever put me down

But when I speak you turn around

and saying not much is saying a lot



Verse 3:

If you spoke truth

there would be no doubt

but the only words are

"we'll work it out"

Well that's not saying much

You just don't take the time

And that is where I draw the line



oh,

CHORUS



Bridge:

You're sending signals

first of hope then insecurity

signals of doubt are everywhere

and subconciously

You know you wanna break the ties

But you use silence

You use lies

Don't worry

I'll return your song of silence



Silence speaks a thousand words

Silence speaks a thousand words
