Encounters have been rough for the recent year and a half I can't let go, I will not change, I've made myself through years of age But I'm willing to meet in the middle if you'll do the same Why can't we talk? Why can't we exchange some words of thought, why are we afraid Of the silence, disagreements, the uncertain events that life will bring You must be brave, you must speak up, for I have no strength to muster up But I can try if it's worth it for us to see eye to eye I bank too much on one small chance that you'll pull through, cuz I can't, I can't Break the silence with your motions, try to look 'em in the eye Try to beckon their attention, try to make 'em speak their mind Yeah I'm trying hard, I try even harder, please speak to me so we feel less apart You can ask about the weather, ask me if I'm still the same You can ask me how my day went, or you could just say my name Yeah I'll take whatever you can say to keep the silence from taking you away Hey friend, how's it going? Long time no talk I've been thinking this forever, but I feel like something's off
