Hunter Harris - Silence and the Sound Lyrics

Take off your ring
Before you come inside
I don't wanna see his face
When I hold you tonight

Lock the door behind you
Before you journey up the stairs
I've already been drinking
To subside all my cares

Did you make sure to park
A couple houses down
Are you in his car
Are the kids out of town

I thought we would have given this up
When you said I do
But you're a habit I can't kick
A ghost I hold on to

And I know I'm a son of a bitch for this
But I loved you for so long
I'll take any chance I get

To hold you between
The silence and the sound
Of my heart breaking
And you leaving for his side of town

I've been taking pills from a bottle
That doesn't bare my name
All for the hope for some inner peace
A soft sweet refrain

But when I hear you come through the door
I'll that bottle away
And relapse in your love
Though it'll lead to my grave

And I know I'm a son of a bitch for this
I turn to you to fill my lungs
And you turn to cigarettes

And I still feel the flame between
The silence and the sound
Of you putting out your cigarette
And leaving for his side of town

And I know I'm a son of a bitch for this
But you don't darken my door
So I'll just call it quits

There will be no pain
Just the silence and the sound
As they lay me in the grave and you stay
On his side of town
