Maurice Moore – The Loudest Silence lyrics

[Intro: Conversation between a man and woman]

Woman: I don't think there's a word for what that is!

Man: Actually there is a word for that, it's love. I'm in love with her, okay? If you're looking for the word that means caring about someone beyond all rationality and wanting them to have everything they want no matter how much it destroys you, it's love! And when you love someone, you just, you don't stop, ever. Even when people roll their eyes or call you crazy
Even then, especially then! You just, you don't give up because if I could give up, if I could just, you know, take the whole world's advice and.. and move on and find someone else that wouldn't be love! That would be, that would be some other disposable thing that is not worth fighting for!

[Verse 1]
Look where we are after all of this time
Finally made it I know this for sure
You been so patient with me, babe
I gotta say thank you cause I know I don't deserve it, oh yeah
I remember scrolling through my phone
Seeing you at places you would never go
Small payback for the pain I caused
With all the ways that I did you wrong
I didn't hear from you, yeah
Not a fucking thing from you, yeah
I lay here in bed thinking about her
Loudest silence that I ever heard

Yeah
People say they gon' change, but it never happens
And we go back to old ways and old habits
A nigga just so used to getting reprimanded
I had to hear the silence just to understand it, woo

Since then a nigga changed so much
What will I do with the pieces of you?
I just need one more chance, one more chance, woah
Gotta get my baby back
Now all I have is fragments of your heart
Since you been gone it's been the loudest silence ever, god damn

Girl I know, this is kinda scary
Falling way back deep in love, so involuntary
All you needed was my trust, now you got it baby
Now that I got it I ain't gonna lose it
Swear to god imma prove it
Oh baby

[Outro: Conversation between a man and woman]

Woman: I can't shake it, I-I-I can't shake this feeling that nothing about me and Barney makes any sense

Man: But love doesn't make sense! You can't logic your way into or out of it! Love is totally nonsensical, but we have to keep doing it or else... we're lost and-and-and-and love is dead and humanity should just pack it in. Because love is the best thing we do. I know that sounds cheesy but it's- it's just true
You love Barney…
And he loves you…"
