Silent Treatment

SILENT TREATMENT - Written by Carroll Bryant

Why won’t you talk to me?

You never want to talk to me

I think you’re scared of me

What are you afraid of?

You never say what’s on your mind

I mean, what’s really on your mind?

You blow me off almost every time

When your world starts crashing down

Why do you leave me all alone?

Just standing in the silent zone?

Sometimes I would die just to hear a tone from your voice

Rather than to never hear what you know that you wanna say

This silent treatment chills my bones

You won’t even pick up the phone

Even if you heard a dial tone then you know

At least that would be some kind of noise anyway

You communicate with your eyes

Subtlety as you pass me by

Your grunt supplies me with

All the answers that I’m looking for

Well, could you just paint a sign?

You never really paint a sign

When everything’s out of control

You act like everything is fine

Why do you leave me all alone?

Just standing in the silent zone?

Sometimes I would die just to hear a tone from your voice

Rather than to never hear what you know that you wanna say

This silent treatment chills my bones

You won’t even pick up the phone

Even if you heard a dial tone then you know

At least that would be some kind of noise anyway

You won’t even snore for the fact that you just want to make a point

You used to talk in your sleep

Even that doesn’t seem to be the case anymore

Then what’s it all for?

Just pack up your things and walk out of the door

There’s your solution

Why won’t you talk to me?

You never want to talk to me

I think you’re scared of me

What are you afraid of?

Are you afraid that you still feel the same

As you did the first day we met and fell in love

What are you afraid of?

Just stop leaving me all alone

And standing in the silent zone

Sometimes I would die just to hear a tone from your voice

Rather than to never hear what you know that you wanna say

This silent treatment chills my bones

You won’t even pick up the phone

Even if you heard a dial tone then you know

At least that would be some kind of noise anyway

Why do you leave me all alone?

Sitting here in my home

Waiting by the telephone

Just talk to me

Can‘t you see what this silence is doing to me?

Tell me …. What are you afraid of?

Just stop leaving me all alone
