Silence Lyrics
Marshmello Feat. Khalid
Lyrics
Yeah, I'd rather be a lover than a fighter
'Cause all my life, I've been fighting
Never felt a feeling of comfort
All this time, I've been hiding
And I never had someone to call my own, oh nah
I'm so used to sharing
Love only left me alone
But I'm at one with the silence
I've found peace in your violence
Can't show me there's no point in trying
I'm at one, and I've been quiet for too long, oh
I've found peace in your violence
Can't show me there's no point in trying
I'm at one, and I've been silent for too long, oh
I've been quiet for too long, oh
I've been quiet for too long, oh
I've found peace in your violence
Can't show me there's no point in trying
I'm at one, and I've been quiet for too long, oh
I'm in need of a savior
But I'm not asking for favors
My whole life, I've felt like a burden
I think too much, and I hate it
I'm so used to being in the wrong
I'm tired of caring
Loving never gave me a home
So I'll sit here in the silence
I've found peace in your violence
Can't show me there's no point in trying
I'm at one, and I've been quiet for too long, oh
I've found peace in your violence
Can't show me there's no point in trying
I'm at one, and I've been silent for too long, oh
I've been quiet for too long, oh
I've been quiet for too long, oh
I've found peace in your violence
Can't show me there's no point in trying
I'm at one, and I've been quiet for too long, oh
