You lift me up And knock me down I'm never sure just what to feel when you're around I speak my heart But don't know why Cause you don't never really say what's on you mind It's like I'm walking on broken glass I wanna know but I don't wanna ask So say you love me Or say you need me Don't let the silence Do the talking Just say you want me Or you don't need me Don't let the silence Do the talking It's killing me (love in silence) It's killing me (love in silence) It's killing me (love in silence) You let me in But then sometimes Your empty eyes just make me feel so cold inside When I'm with you It's like rolling dice Don't know where or how you're gonna make me cry So say you love me Or say you need me Don't let the silence Do the talking Just say you want me Or you don't need me Don't let the silence Do the talking It's killing me (love in silence) It's killing me, yeah (love in silence) Whoa (love in silence) It's like I'm (I'm) walking on (walking on) broken glass I wanna know but I don't wanna ask 'Cause once you say it You can't take it back And this the end and please just fake it fast So say you love me Or say you need me Don't let the silence (ooh) Do the talking Just say you want me (say you want me) Or you don't need me (but you don't want me) Don't let the silence Do the talking Whoa (love in silence) You lift me up And knock me down I'm never sure just what to feel when you're around
