8 Years Of Silence

I remember that day you left without notice

Abandoned your heart and your home

So I'm singing to break these eight years of silence

That I've learned to lead on my own

Feeling trapped even in my own skin

Are you what you dreamt of becoming?

The man I grew up with doesn't exist

In his place stands a sad hypocrite

And broken hearts aren't sewn together

With cheap empty words

This bridge burned such a long time ago

No signs of burnt wood, ashes, or coals

Had it all

Had it all here

But you left us and just disappeared

I guess when you've lied so many times

You create a false sense of the truth

Half the blood in my veins

Yes, sir, I hate to say

Half of that blood

It belonged to you

If there's one thing you can't seem to hide

It's that sickness you feel in your soul

I might be guilty of way too much pride

Would you believe that I learned it from you?

And broken hearts aren't sewn together

With cheap empty words

This bridge burned such a long time ago

No signs of burnt wood, ashes, or coals

Had it all

Had it all here

But you left us and just disappeared

The river once flowing has dried

Leaving nowhere for you to come home

Had it all

Had it all here

But you left us and just disappeared

You left us and just disappeared

Disappeared

Disappeared

This bridge burned such a long time ago

No signs of burnt wood, ashes or coals

Had it all

Had it all here

But you left us and just disappeared

The river once flowing has dried

Leaving nowhere for you to come home

Had it all

Had it all here

But you left us and just disappeared

You left us and just disappeared

You left us and just disappeared
