When you are silent,
You give me a blank.
And boy, do I fill it.
I fill it with all of my fears.
I fill it with assumptions.
I fill it with the pain of my past.
When you give me a blank,
I fill it with worst case scenarios.
I get that knot in my stomach that tells me you're gonna give up on me any time now.
When you give me a blank,
I break my own heart.
So please, just talk to me.

I fill it with all of my fears.
I fill it with assumptions.
I fill it with the pain of my past.
When you give me a blank,
I fill it with worst case scenarios.
I get that knot in my stomach that tells me you're gonna give up on me any time now.
When you give me a blank,
I break my own heart.
So please, just talk to me.
