Let my silence be a lesson
To be careful what you choose
You dropped what you assumed would always be there
Now you covet the thing you lose
Your life is absent of my sincere words
And you miss the way they sound
Yet you took my voice for granted
All the time it was around
What you did not bother to say
Was what my spoken thoughts meant to you
I expressed my love for you every day
But you couldn't tell me too

Let my silence be a lesson
To be careful what you choose
You dropped what you assumed would always be there
Now you covet the thing you lose
Your life is absent of my sincere words
And you miss the way they sound
Yet you took my voice for granted
All the time it was around
What you did not bother to say
Was what my spoken thoughts meant to you
I expressed my love for you every day
But you couldn't tell me too
