November evening The warmth of family's in the air Dinner's on the table But there's one empty chair They had a fight this morning He said he's never coming home But for her it's almost normal Being married all alone That stony fear and hate That words can't articulate When walls of silence The walls of silence When walls of silence go up Our lives come down She puts on a brave face But they can see it in her eyes Sometimes putting on a brave face Is such a thin disguise And they never want to come home It just reminds them of the pain And they hope and pray that their lives Never turn out quite the same That stony fear and hate That words can't articulate When walls of silence The walls of silence When walls of silence go up Our lives come down When walls of silence The walls of silence When walls of silence go up Our lives come down Come down Our lives come down
