Dew Ledoux - Silent Treatment Lyrics

Communication ain't your style, girl, that's plain to see
When we're butting heads, you just drift away from me
Lock your words up tight, like a door with a broken key
I'm left guessing in the silence, wondering what'll be

Silent treatment, you got that silent treatment
Every time I try to get close, girl, you retreat in
Silent treatment, leaves me feelin' defeated
Like I'm hollerin' at walls that won't repeat it

Now when things are good, you talk a mile a minute
But when trouble's brewin', there ain't no words in it
You pull that quiet card, like it's some kinda trick
It's like I'm standing here, playing in the shadows thick

Silent treatment, yeah, that silent treatment
Your quiet cuts deep, makes me feel like you're leavin'
Silent treatment, like I'm not even breathin'
I need your voice, but all I get is retreatin'

I try to reach out, but you won't say a thing
I'm staring at this worn-out, tarnished ring
Feels like our vows don't mean what they did back then
When did "forever" get so hard to defend?

This one-sided battle is wearin' on my soul
I need more than echoes to make me feel whole
You're holdin' back words like they're locked in a cage
I'm caught in the silence, can't turn the page

Silent treatment, your cold silent treatment
Hurts more than anything you could say or mean it
Silent treatment, girl, I'm barely breathin'
Without your words, feels like you're retreatin'
