I hear the screams of profanity in your drunk voice from that night The beating of your fist against the truck window My own voice pleading for help The faint sound of blood dripping onto the hardwood floor from your knuckles And yet, all you hear is silence It’s not the Silent Treatment The tears in my eyes are screaming so loud But you just can’t hear me

Not the Silent Treatment
I hear the screams of profanity in your drunk voice from that night The beating of your fist against the truck window My own voice pleading for help The faint sound of blood dripping onto the hardwood floor from your knuckles And yet, all you hear is silence It’s not the Silent Treatment The tears in my eyes are screaming so loud But you just can’t hear me
I didn’t think I would ever be in this situation
