Silence lyrics
by Jared Singer
I’ve always prided myself on being an honest person
But I have decided that I will not speak unless I can say the complete truth
This has made is so much harder to talk about the things that are really important to me
Samantha
I wouldn’t change a thing about our prom night
Not even my ridiculous powder blue tuxedo
But I have spent so many ___
Wishing that we could’ve had a different ending
I have lost track of the number of times I called you crazy
And every time I did I was so ___
Of myself
Do you remember that night when we watched the meteor shower
And you put my hand on your left breast and you offered me ___
I still can’t ___ all I could say was ___
Dad
You are the ___ of ___ I have ever met
Thank you
I wouldn’t be half the ___ I am today if it wasn’t for you
You remember what you said to me the first time I came home with a broken arm?
You said
“Why don’t you just ___”
And I did, Dad
I have spent the rest of my life trying to ___
So that you would be ___ of me
If I ever have kids
I’m gonna make sure they know one thing
I’m gonna make sure they know ___
And it’s all because of you, Dad
The first time a woman told me I was the only fat man she had ever wanted to f*ck
I could only say ___
And I almost married her
By the third woman to tell me I was the only fat man she had ever wanted to f*ck
I knew to say ___
I think a lot about the other women
About the ones who never told me why I was desirable
And I ___
Then if they did they’d say ___
You see the thing about the truth
Is that it is almost never one thing
I just wanna be an honest man
While still relieving room for all of the answers
So how come every time I try to hold the truth
It ___
