I Stood in Silence

I stood in silence,
While you broke my heart.
I watched my fantasies
As they burned to the ground.
Like paper, they crumbled,
And to ashes it all fell.
The one time I let my heart
Go free from its cage,
I took the backlash.
And now, regrets throb in my chest,
Because I, staying strong,
I stood in silence.
I stood in silence
And let you break my heart.

No words were spoken,
I didn't fight back.
I stood in silence.
They told me I loved you,
And I denied it all.
You chose another,
And the tears keep falling.
But I'll stand in silence,
While you break my heart.
Every breath hurts, yet I'm still standing.
I'm standing in silence,
In screaming agony.
But don't you look,
Don't you watch me.
You did this, but I will take the blame.
Because I stood in silence.

I will not let this happen again.
I will stand, in silence,
As everyone breaks hearts,
As everyone gets hurt.
And I'll keep standing,
While the world crumbles
And while my fantasies burn.
I stood in silence,
And let my heart break,
But on we go,
And I'll stand.
Silence is safety, and I'm here,
When it all collapses on you,
I will stand in silence.
I'll hold your weight,
Because I forgive you,
Though I stood in silence
When you broke my heart.
