With you by my side I felt like I'd arrived I was lost and found I feel kinda selfish And selfish is helpless I dragged you down We somehow delayed it I played it so basic we fooled our crowd So nice on the surface But somehow we burnt it Now words don't mean a thing You don't have to say nothing Say nothing 'Cause your eyes do the talking You don't have to say nothing Say nothing 'Cause your eyes do the talking I get home at half five We fight til the sunrise We won't back down The subjects worth hiding It's high stakes we're riding It all falls down Twice strikes the lightning The night had me high under its dark spell Now I fight back, you fight back Won't wave your white flag Our words don't mean a thing Don't speak Don't speak no more 'Cause your eyes do the talking Don't speak Don't speak no more 'Cause your eyes do the talking You don't have to say nothing Say nothing 'Cause your eyes do the talking You don't have to say nothing Say nothing 'Cause your eyes do the talking (Let's talk) We used to have our eggs sunny side up But the fun dried up And now I feel like our time's up I can see you wanna talk but your tongues tied up Gotta wise up Cant keep hiding, cant keep sliding Down that one way road to oblivion I've told you a million times where my heads at But it's all arguments and who's winning em Sometimes the right words don't surface Shut up pretend it's all perfect Brain short circuits so I look into your eyes and I don't feel worthless What I said you know I never meant it Like somebody keeps finishing my sentence No more tears, no more lies I know what you want when you say it with your eyes Don't speak Don't speak no more 'Cause your eyes do the talking Don't speak Don't speak no more 'Cause your eyes do the talking You don't have to say nothing Say nothing 'Cause your eyes do the talking You don't have to say nothing Say nothing 'Cause your eyes do the talking
