The Pause

[Verse 1]
You coulda just smiled, you coulda just lied
Been a good girl and read those lines
We want the truth until it hurts
I wish you just smiled, I wish you just lied

[Pre-Chorus]
How do we come back from this?

[Chorus]
It don't matter what you say now
Your silence said it so loud
While you took your time I
Read between the lines
It's not a misdirection, it's just a simple question
You said it all, you said it all... in the pause

[Verse 2]
Why did I ask, it should be implied
The fact that I had to should have been a sign
Another life lesson learned
Don't ask if you can't take the worst

[Pre-Chorus + Chorus]

[Ad-Lib]
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, aw-oh-oh
You said it all in the pause
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, aw-oh-oh

[Bridge]
How do we come back from this?
How do we come back from this?
Woah-oh, woah-oh
How do we come back from this?
How do we come back from this?
Woah-oh, woah-oh
(Can we come back) How do we come back from this?
(Can we come back) How do we come back from this?
Woah-oh, woah-oh

[Chorus 2]
It don't matter what you say now
Your silence said it so loud
While you took your time I
Read between the lines
It's not a misdirection, it's such a simple question
You said it all, you said it all... in the pause
