Silence on My Side by Juli Strawbridge Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Tennessee’s remembering how it’s supposed to feel
Vowed to be the south, stay warmer all throughout the year
Ran out of time to realize just how gone you are from here
Left that strange weight in an envelope sealed
Silence on my side, would never cry for left on read
Won’t give the satisfaction to the bad streets in my head
The crime rate’s up percentages since you waved bye and left
I’m so happy for you
For that job up in New York, I said
And then I changed all the locks in that neighbourhood in my head
[Chorus]
And I won’t think you lied if you don’t talk like that again
And I won’t place the blame on anybody if we drift
But you're back in my home without me
And the East Coast never looked so lonely
[Verse 2]
Stand through Saturdays and music I don’t wanna hear
Giving up your ghost to where you’re breathing now for real
I bowed before your voice, walked with your words on hand and heel
But I know you needed every last kneel
But I know you needed every last kneel
It’s hard now not to see you as another song to write
But those stadium feelings won’t work this time
Can’t give you away ‘cause I’m still open wide
Can’t give you away ‘cause I’m still open wide
[Chorus]
And I won't think you lied if you don't talk like that again
And I won't place the blame on anybody if we drift
But you're back in my home without me
And the East Coast never looked so lonely
[Bridge]
Got what I didn't know I need
I wanna be you for somebody like me
Got what I didn't know I need
I wanna be you for somebody like me
Got what I didn't know I need
I wanna be you for somebody like me
Got what I didn't know I need
I wanna be you for somebody like me
Got what I didn't know I need
I wanna be you for somebody like me
I got what I didn't know I need, and
I wanna be you for somebody like me
[Outro]
Got what I didn't know I need
I wanna be you for somebody like me
Got what I didn't know I need
I wanna be you for somebody like me
Got what I didn't know I need...
