What You Don't Say

You can keep it up
You can keep in touch
You can say enough
You can say too much
Communication loud and clear
It’s what you don’t say that I hear

Alarm bells ringing
Sirens wail
Giving information
Telling a tale
Smoke screen hiding what is real
It’s what you don’t say that I feel

It’s a secret place
Where we see ourselves so clear
Face to face
I reach for you but you’re not here
You can tell the truth
You can spin a line
Is it a rumour
Or an alibi
Are you lying all the time
It’s what you don’t say between the lines
