Side-Effect of Silence

No conversations
No lax routine or hang out scene
Just you and I
Just us and the tv screen

No apprehension?
That's a lie to begin with
Your eyes are glazed with tension, and I -
I am amazed that I'm still here

Your hands are cold
Did you really think this was old?
I think I could have told you
I could have said that it would be this way

Your looks, your stares
It's just not fair
You read my mind and I can barely care

Your lips are pursed
My heart's a hearse
You keep me turning like a curse

No hesitation?
No sneaky sighs or glad goodbyes
Just you and I
And the side-effect of silence
