I leave as I enter, another boy caught in-between Now all I can muster are whispers to your screams Don't you remember how you eased my disgrace? Don't you remember the love you saw in my face? Perfected in silence A physical presence I sought affection, but now I realize A cold rejection, the movement in your eyes But I can remember when you shook against me I can remember when I saw what love could be Perfected in silence A physical presence Ain't what she did, it's the way that she did it When I couldn't give, only she could forgive it Ain't what she did, it's the way that she did it As long as I live, it's for me to relive it Silence Part of the answer is that there's really no escape Part of the answer is that life can have such perfect shape Don't you remember all the nights you shared in my disgrace? Don't you remember that the love that filled this empty space Was Perfected in silence? A physical presence Perfected in silence A physical presence
