Silence Won’t Help Me Now Songtext
von Laura Jean Anderson

Up and down
My emotions are tired out
So level with me now
And my sins′ll start coming out
l felt the rise and fall
Of being wanted and then being recalled
l see you counting my wrongs
Well, l ain't a child of your God
So you can count all you want
But l still won′t belong
You say shut it, l'll speak loud
You say take it, well l'll rip it up proud
And l don′t regret it ′cause my heart's so loud
Ooh, and silence won′t help me now
You say fake it, well l'll bring the truth
You say close it, well l′ll open up to you
'Cause l′ve got nothing for to hold on to
Ooh, and l know that it won't get me through
Silence won't get me through
You tell me turn it on


But once it′s on you want it off
Cross your legs, hold your tongue
And forget about what you want
Follow blindly until your desire is gone
You say shut it, l′ll speak loud
You say take it, well l'll rip it up proud
And l don′t regret it 'cause my heart′s so loud
Ooh, and silence won't help me now
You say fake it, well l′ll bring the truth
You say close it, well l'll open up to you
And l've got nothing for to hold on to
Ooh, and l know that it won′t get me through
Silence won′t get me through
l don't know what you′ve been told
Don't let them tell you no more
l don′t know what you've been told
Don′t let them tell you no more
l don't know what you've been told
Don′t let them tell you no more
′Cause l've been waiting, l′ve been patient
l am ready, yes l'm ready
You say shut it, l′ll speak loud
You say take it, well l'll rip it up proud
And l don′t regret it 'cause my heart's so loud
Ooh, and silence won′t help me now
You say fake it, well l′ll bring the truth
You say close it, well l'll open up to you
And l′ll be your man and l'll be your woman too
Ooh, and silence won′t get me through
Oh, silence won't get me through
