[ Tekst: Kari Iveland ]
I had my reasons for leaving
Reasons for saying goodbye
Honesty is so deceiving
Ask no questions and I’ll tell you no lies
I never look for changes
‘Cause changes never last
No high expectations
Taught me how to survive the past
So I watch you from a distance
I see your face on the screen
The portrait of my fantasy
My undiscovered dream
Afraid of being rejected
Afraid of my beating heart
Knowing what’s there between us
Is what’s keeping us apart
The Silent lies
As we said goodbye
Convinced me that I was just another girl
Passing through your life
So I let you walk away
With nothing more to say but the silent lies
I had my reasons for leaving
Reasons not to care
What seemed so complicated
Is easy when you’re not there
Living without a future
Is living without regrets
If I reinvent the moment
Maybe someday I will forget
The Silent lies
As we said goodbye
Convinced me that I was just another girl
Passing through your life
So I let you walk away
With nothing more to say but the silent lies
