If Silence could speak Would she wanna talk ? Would she reply to what I say? Or would she? Stay content With where she is Instead of Joining the conversation So if I feel this way Should I ? Open, open my mouth Open, open my mouth And let the words come out What do I even say? How do I explain? What’s going on in my brain Chorus (So) Should I break my silence Should I break my silence Should I break my silence Or should I just hold it in In two minds, In two minds, In two minds Is my brain about to explode ? Over thinking, Over thinking, Over thinking Never helps when you’re at war The pushing and pulling Of my heart and mind Is not really helping on this quest To find clarity I need clarity (So) Should I break my silence Should I break my silence Should I break my silence Or should I just hold it in This battle keeps going on and on This battle keeps going on and on My mind is in a civil war This battle keeps going Cause the pushing and pulling Of my heart and mind Is not really helping on this quest to find Cause the pushing and pulling Of my heart and mind Is not really helping on this quest to find Chorus So Should I break my silence Should I break my silence Should I break my silence Or should I just hold it in Break Down Hey ! I am gonna I am gonna I am gonna Break, Break, Break, Break Break it Down, Break it down Break

Closer I wish you were closer to me Nearer Cause you’re so far I can’t breathe If distance makes the heart grow fonder Then maybe I’ll endure this pain I wish you were closer but your miles away Need you in the same room Cause it’s not the same It’s not the same When you’re not here When I can only hear you When I need to feel Your body close to mine Oh Ooh Oh I need to feel your love Oh Ooh Oh I need to feel your love I need to feel your love I can’t take This empty feeling I have Cause you fill That void With your arms that hold My heart And I wish you were Closer But we’re miles apart Oh Ooh Oh I need to feel your love Oh Ooh Oh I need to feel your love Love, Love I need to feel your La,La,La love I need to feel your La,La,La love I need to feel your La,La,La love Your, Your Love Oh Ooh Oh I need to feel your love Oh Ooh Oh I need to feel your love Love, Love I need to feel your La,La,La love I need to feel your La,La,La love I need to feel your La,La,La love Your, Your Love I need to feel your La,La,La love I need to feel your La,La,La love I need to feel your La,La,La love

Take your sorrys and your goodbyes Back around Make this house that we brought down Safe and sound Throw Pandora’s box back in to the sea I just want this war to cease My white flag’s going on up Cause this has got to stop Because We laugh, we cry You come close, I hide We’re fine, then we’re not The whole gets bigger and starts to grow Reminisce on the times When everything just so right Thinking How did we get here? So lets go back To the start Lets go back To the start Cause I don’t wanna cry for you I don’t wanna hurt for you When things get bad So lets go back To the start It’s been a while ago Since this felt like love Now when I look at you it sets my anger off Cause you make me cry Whenever I hurt Cry whenever I hurt Why can’t we just love Again Love again So lets go back To the start Lets go back To the start Cause I don’t wanna cry for you I don’t wanna hurt for you When things get bad So lets go back To the start Don’t Let this roof Cave over our heads Don’t Let this roof Cave over our heads Lay the foundations Down again Lay the foundations down Don’t Let this roof Cave over our heads This house can still stand strong Lay the foundations down again Before everything we built gets torn Down Down So lets go back To the start Lets go back To the start Cause I don’t wanna cry for you I don’t wanna hurt for you When things get bad So lets go back To the start

Is it okay ? To cry Once in while I find it hard To bring down these walls That I build So high That no one can see Anything Through the windows to my heart Through the windows to my heart And is it okay ? To take a leap of faith I find it hard Not to push the ones I love away Cause I’ve been thinking, thinking I’ve been Thinking, thinking Maybe you’ll take me back If I wasn’t so If I wasn’t so thick skinned Would you have stayed Would you have stayed with me Now would it bruise more Now that I’m missing your face If I hadn’t had Put my defenses in front of the gates Of my soul Cause I’ve been thinking, thinking I’ve been Thinking, thinking Maybe you’ll take me back If I wasn’t so If I wasn’t so thick skinned Would you have stayed Would you have stayed with me Wanting a hand to hold So I’ll hold myself together Cause that’s all I know to do Was scared of being broken But now the pieces have fallen So I’ll have to hide them from view Cause I’ve been thinking, thinking I’ve been Thinking, thinking Maybe you’ll take me back If I wasn’t so If I wasn’t so thick skinned Would you have stayed Would you have stayed with me Would you have stayed, stayed, stayed Would you have stayed Stayed

label her music as “Christian”). She has gained attention from the likes of Gal-Dem and
