You told me stay away
you watched me walk away

you told me stay away away
i can hear the silence
i can hear the silence
you watched me walk away away
i can hear the silence
i can hear the silence

there's a reason for your sad eyes
there's a reason for your sad life
there's a reason you blame it all on me
tell me why it's over
i'm lost again
tell me why i'm laughing
through the end
tell me why it's over
tell me true
tell me why i'm crying
over you

i waited hoping you would phone
i can hear the silence
i can hear the silence
and now i'm waiting all alone
i can hear the silence
i can hear the silence

i'm missing your sad eyes
i'm missing your sad smile
i'm missing the only love i've known

    This is one of my two most favorite songs off of "Pleasure Victim" (along with "Masquerade"). Love and loss: is there a more common theme in modern music?

    those are my two faves off of PV as well, this one and Masquerade. Both are great dancing tunes.
