Radio Silence - Gretta Ray

Did I hurt you that bad, babe?

Did I really mess this up?

Swear I intended to tread lightly

But still, I woke the beast in you

See, I was hoping to save us

I pointed out the dark clouds

But you ran into the rain anyway

And now there’s no way out

It’s not the storm that I can’t stand

It’s in your reticent manner, man

I think we both know

That the ball is in your court

Honey, it kills me, the radio silence

I never saw us here

In a world where our lips are sealed

It’s harder to heal

When honey it kills me, all of this quiet

I never thought you’d

Go out of your way to stay out of mine

But I’m putting my money on time

All my sorries were useless, so I’ll hold my breath

Wait it out and leave you be with all your rage

In your lonely and lovelessness

It’s hard to be the one to save you

Our peers talk of you only in passing

Censoring their stories of your pain

But I know all about your bad nights

Tendency to slight at the mention of my name

I willingly take all the blame

But the ball is in your court

Honey, it kills me, the radio silence

I never saw us here

In a world where our lips are sealed

It’s harder to heal

When honey it kills me, all of this quiet

I never thought you’d

Go out of your way to stay out of mine

But I’m putting my money on time

Put all my money on time

But with the way it all played out

Was there ever a hope in hell

That you’d keep close

Sit tight and take it well?

No

It is a pipe dream at best that you might

Ever get your head around

How it all went down

Though I live guilt-ridden

Wouldn’t dare to take it all back

As I’d not be where I stand

Nor who I am or where I need to be

But that will never be heard, babe

'Till the day comes when you love again

Maybe the saddest, but best part is

She’ll hold you tighter than I ever did back then

Honey, it kills me, the radio silence

I never saw us here

In a world where our lips are sealed

It’s harder to heal

When honey it kills me, all of this quiet

I never thought you’d

Go out of your way to stay out of mine

But I put all my money on time

Put all my money on time
