Waiting For The Silence Lyrics - The Living End

Opinions can be fatal 

If you're not careful 

They can lead you on the right track 

Or stab you in the back 

You say I should know better 

That I should just agree 

But honey, hearts don't come with guarantees 

I hate to break it to you 

But I'm obviously not who you want me to be 

And it's a cowardly act now 

I didn't mean to react now 

Your mind is under attack 

And you're asking yourself why? 

I can't live without the attention 

I feel lost, got no direction 

I'm waiting for the silence to end now 

Waiting for the smoke to clear 

Waiting for someone to surrender 

Don't you remember how it was last year? 

When all of the boys were making their noise 

And the girls were trying hard to pretend 

We had it all back then 

Now we're waiting for the silence to end 

Secrets can be hurtful 

And the truth can sometimes kill it seems 

Be careful what you wish for 

Because from over here 

The grass don't look too green 

And it's a cowardly act now 

I didn't mean to react now 

Your mind is under attack 

And you're asking yourself why? 

I can't live without the attention 

I feel lost, got no direction 

I'm waiting for the silence to end now 

Waiting for the smoke to clear 

Waiting for someone to surrender 

Don't you remember how it was last year? 

When all of the boys were making their noise 

And the girls were trying hard to pretend 

We had it all back then 

Now we're waiting for the silence to end 

Is there any point shifting the blame? 

Is there any point chasing a runaway train? 

Well, I can't live without the attention 

I feel lost, got no direction 

I'm waiting for the silence to end now 

Waiting for the smoke to clear 

I'm waiting for someone to surrender 

Don't you remember how it was last year? 

When all of the boys were making their noise 

And the girls were trying hard to pretend 

We had it all back then 

Now we're waiting for the silence to end 

Waiting for the silence to end 

Waiting for the silence to end
