If Your Silence Is Gospel

I saw the world from your shoulders
When my world was blonde and bright
And every dream posed a question
Until each question posed a fight

An inquisitive kid with opinions
That you would turn into a game
You'd spin me around in circles
Until I felt dizzy and ashamed

I know, I say, don't let anyone dim your light
But man, this one's been a lifelong fight
So I'll stop trying so long as you have
I'll stop trying so long as you have
'Cause if I'm a candle, you're the snuff
And if your silence is gospel
Then I think I've heard enough
Yeah I think I've heard enough

You finally text me on my birthday
But don't respond to my response
Your fiancé became your wife, so
I guess that's it for me, I'm done

You made me feel so small
Yet somehow always in the way
And the one time that you called
I knew it had to be doomsday

I know, I say, don't let anyone dim your light
But man, this one's been a lifelong fight
So I'll stop trying so long as you have
I'll stop trying so long as you have
'Cause if I'm a candle, you're the snuff
And if your silence is gospel
Then I think I've heard enough
Yeah I think I've heard enough
If your silence is gospel
I've heard enough

I know, I say, don't let anyone dim your light
But man this one's been a lifelong fight
So I'll stop trying so long as you have
I'll stop trying so long as you have
'Cause if I'm a candle, you're the snuff
And if your silence is gospel
I think I've heard enough
Yeah I've finally had enough
