Encounters have been rough for the recent year and a half
I can't let go, I will not change, I've made myself through years of age
But I'm willing to meet in the middle if you'll do the same
Why can't we talk? Why can't we exchange some words of thought, why are we afraid
Of the silence, disagreements, the uncertain events that life will bring
You must be brave, you must speak up, for I have no strength to muster up
But I can try if it's worth it for us to see eye to eye
I bank too much on one small chance that you'll pull through, cuz I can't, I can't
Break the silence with your motions, try to look 'em in the eye
Try to beckon their attention, try to make 'em speak their mind
Yeah I'm trying hard, I try even harder, please speak to me so we feel less apart
You can ask about the weather, ask me if I'm still the same
You can ask me how my day went, or you could just say my name
Yeah I'll take whatever you can say to keep the silence from taking you away
Hey friend, how's it going? Long time no talk
I've been thinking this forever, but I feel like something's off
