Lyrics
Suffer In Silence
Perry L. Nunley / Kelli Fleury ©2011
It don’t really bother me that I call your name out loud,
But you’re not there.
I’m real good at being alone and pretending like I think,
That I don’t care.
Sometimes the pain will rise so high beyond,
The point of no return.
And I can’t say a word.
It don’t really bother me that I can’t lose this memory,
Of your face.
So I found religion in the peace and quiet,
Of my emptiness.
Sometimes the thought of you is all it takes,
To drive me insane.
And I can’t say a thing.
Suffer in silence,
Hiding the truth.
Just do all the things I guess,
A good man ought to do.
Keep up my defenses,
Keeping my distance,
Keeping my heart from bleeding through.
Suffer in silence,
Over you
It don’t really bother me that I forsake,
The way I want to feel.
But your eyes your lips your voice your smile your laugh,
Tempt and test my will.
Sometimes I’d die to let you know my heart,
But I can’t risk so much.
So I just shut up.
[Suffer in silence]
Being without you.
[Suffer in silence]
Dreaming about you.
[Suffer in silence]
Over you.
Sometimes I wonder what it might be like,
To love you soft and close.
But I’ll never know.
