Another evening on your own You wander round your perfect home You watch the silent furniture you carefully picked out earlier this year You wonder how it came to this Had your aim but it seems you missed All you wanted was his love but you soon discovered that was not enough Oh, the silence Oh, the silence in your house and in your head and in your heart Is so loud You thought that he could save your life If only you would be his wife You thought the perfect wedding day would make this awful headache go away Oh, the silence Oh, the silence in your house and in your head and in your heart Stop spilling red wine on the carpets You know the stains won't come off anymore Come on surprise us, no compromises this time Ask more of life, ask more... Oh, the silence Oh, the silence in your house and in your head and in your heart And in your life Ask more of life Ask more in life Ask more... Ask yourself how much you care About dining chairs and Baudelaire Nor craftmanship or poetry can keep a young girl happy forever You need someone to turn you on, you need to let yourself have fun
