| When the silent treatment gets so loud it’s buzzing in my head
|
| Your lips are moving, tells I should be somewhere else instead
|
| Ooh, take a chance on today
|
| She said she was a mermaid
|
| She said she liked horses
|
| And then the silence finally breaks
|
| You took all you could take
|
| There’s no one there
|
| So you try to minimize it
|
| Then you try to compromise it
|
| No one really, really, really cares
|
| In the city streets are filled with sheets of raindrops filled with bile
|
| The silence is so deafening it somehow makes me smile
|
| Ooh, take a chance on tonight
|
| But she said she was a mermaid
|
| She said she liked horses
|
| She said she loved unicorns
|
| I’d never bet on the dragon
|
| When the silence finally breaks
|
| You took all you could take
|
| No one cares
|
| And still you try to minimize it
|
| Then you try to compromise it
|
| No one’s really, really, really there
|
| When the ice melts off the lake and it reflects on what is fake
|
| And you’re skating somewhere, swimming I was losing every race
|
| Ooh, one stolen moment might turn out right
|
| She said she was a mermaid
|
| She said she liked horses
|
| Never bet on the unicorn
|
| Never bet on the dragon
|
| When the silence finally breaks
|
| You find out just what’s fake
|
| There’s no one there
|
| So you try to minimize it
|
| Then you try to compromise it
|
| Cause no one really, really, really cares |
