The Silence Lyrics

Capo: 2nd fret (I've seen him place the capo on the 4th or 5th fret, place it
wherever you're comfortable)
I remember a conversation, at a restaurant
With a friend of mine, he'd a successful mind
And he told me of his life
And the plans he'd made to come this far
Had gone so well and now we're all so proud of him
And he told me how
But I couldn't bear to listen
(G) Cause all my life I've heard
Of the (Em) dreams of the organized
To be the best in the company
To win the awards but that's not me
Cause all my life all I ever wanted
Was a love that lasted longer than the silence
All my life, all my life
Was a love that lasted longer than the silence
I had to say that I had to leave
Cause it was on my mind
That all he set in me were insecurities
But that dream was never mine
Cause the plans I thought I'd made so far
Had gone alright but all that I feel now is doubt
And he told me why
But I couldn't bear to listen
Cause all my life I've heard
Of the dreams of the organized
To be the best in the company
To win the awards but that's not me
Cause all my life all I ever wanted
Was a love that lasted longer than the silence
All my life, all my life
Was a love that lasted longer than the silence
