Lyrics: Silence Is Golden
Oh, don’t it hurt deep inside
To see someone do something to her
Oh, don’t it pain to see someone cry
Oh, especially when someone is herSilence is golden, but my eyes still see
Silence is golden, golden, but my eyes still seeTalking is cheap, people follow like sheep
Even though there is nowhere to go
How could she tell? He deceived her so well
Pity she’ll be the last one to knowSilence is golden, but my eyes still see
Silence is golden, golden, but my eyes still seeHow many times did she fall for his lies?
Should I tell her or should I keep cool?
And if I tried I know she’ll say I lied
Mind your business, don’t hurt her, you foolSilence is golden, but my eyes still see
Silence is golden, golden, but my eyes still see
But my eyes still see, but my eyes still see
