Lyrics

A man in his silence can put up a fight, the eyes in battle
Refusing to end it, he’s feeding his pride and nothing matters more
I can be lost, I can be careless, I could die
We can be cold, we can be heartless, we could lie

You don’t need to tell me twice
I’m taking my own advice
We can be wrong but somehow we always think we’re right

A man in his silence can put up a fight, a voiceless violence
The shrug of a shoulder, the sting of the eyes -- the weapons of our war
I can be lost, I can be careless, I could die
We can be cold, we can be heartless, we could lie

You don’t need to tell me twice
I’m taking my own advice
We can be wrong but somehow we always think we’re right

I’m gonna swallow my pride some day
And I’m gonna knock on your door one day
Then you’re gonna tell me you’re sorry
I’ve been a fool to believe
That we couldn’t speak
But could we?

You don’t need to tell me twice
I’m taking my own advice
We can be wrong but somehow we always think we’re right
