Sometimes I see you in the streetlights
The flame that flickers in the dark nights
A warmer breeze on a cold night
The six strings on my wall
It hurts to know what you left behind
Your son he looks like he got your eyes
I try to tell him it'd be all right
That's only kind of a lie
Because when there's nothing to say
It's easy to say nothing at all
And you said you were surviving
Somewhere in the silence
I saw a place that I've been
Somewhere in the silence
And you said you were surviving
Somewhere in the silence
When you needed kindness
We found it in the silence
Ah
I saw your family crying
Tears fall like the rose petals in my hands
Your boy's calling superman, superman, superman
I thought we had a plan
Because when there's nothing to say
It's easy to say nothing at all
And you said you were surviving
Somewhere in the silence
I saw a place that I've been
Somewhere in the silence
And you said you were surviving
Somewhere in the silence
When you needed kindness
We found it in the silence
Ah
I do it all for you
I do it all for you
I do it all for you
I do it all for you
I still do it all for you
I do it all for you
