lyrics

Do you tend to talk when there’s nothing to say?
Has it proven a difficult habit to break?
And you know that confession is just empty words
when half of the lesson is yet to be learned.

They say actions speak louder than words ever will.
If that’s true, then it goes without saying.
In a world full of sound is there a place to be found
where it’s okay to have nothing to say?

Is it possible that were just all insecure,
or the sound of the silence is hard to endure?
So you say to yourself time and again
that silence is golden but still hope that it ends.

They say actions speak louder than words will ever will.
If that’s true, would you mind please explaining?
In a world full of sound, is there a place to be found
where it’s okay to have nothing to say?

Do you pour out your heartache praying to God,
unload the questions and problems you got,
and hope that He’s listening, afraid that He’s not,
scared that the ceiling is just where it stops?

They say actions speak louder than words will ever will.
If that’s true, what am I truly saying?
In a world full of sound is there a place to be found
where it’s okay to have nothing to say?
It’s okay to have nothing—
