Lyrics The Silence Hurts The Most - Lastelle

The Silence Hurts The Most

June nineteenth
The weather report read heavy showers
Your car’s left headlight was still out
Yet you still took the risk
The dark draws in at five
Almost pitch black by six
The clouds, they slowly roll in
Our boy comes in from the cold
The sound of a lover’s quarrel, it fills the air around him
You turn and open the door
And grab his hand
Can you see the innocence in a child’s face?
I lost sight of it in the rear view
As you drove away
When will I see your face again?
They say the light that burns twice as bright
Burns for half as long
It was your light that burned the brightest
The brightest
The rain falls
It’s clouding your view, just like your anger
The road starts winding up ahead
But you’re too blind to see
You’ve got your foot to the floor
Your boy sits quietly
You never know how it feels to stare death in the face
Until you looked in his eyes
And you took the corner at forty-five
Where you lost control
The car stops rolling, your eyes open
There’s blood but you’re fine
Eerily silent, your boy’s still there but he’s not crying
In fact, he makes no noise at all
Your heart sinks to the floor
Frantically making the call
Ambulance came, try to resuscitate
But they’re too late
I heard a sadness in their voice
When they announced that date
No, there was nothing they could do
No, there was nothing they could say
He died on June nineteenth
Died on a Sunday
I’ll never forget how you sunk to your knees
How you sunk to your knees
I’ll always regret this
Your face bathed in sadness
I’ll always regret this
I am so sorry, I’ve made the worst mistake I could make
I let my anger be my guide and I lost my way
One selfish act has taken everything that I love
I’d give every part of myself to bring you back to us
Oh dear lover, I know that I won’t see you again
Oh dear child, I hope that you are safe in heaven
Oh dear lover, I know that I won’t be forgiven
Oh dear child, I wish it were my life instead
(They say the light that burns twice as bright
Burns for half as long
It was your light that burned the brightest
The brightest)
They say the light that burns twice as bright
Burns for half as long
It was your light that burned the brightest
The brightest
Oh dear lover, I know that I won’t see you again
Oh dear child, I hope that you are safe in heaven
Oh dear lover, I know that I won’t be forgiven
Oh dear child, I wish it were my life instead
Regret lingers in those eyes
Since you took the corner at forty-five
