Текст песни Ugly Pauses & Comfortable Silence - Juniper

Silence often gives complicated answers
It gives more than words, they say,
But is it really true?

Silence will force you to make
A guess, a prediction
It will make you read signs
As you prepare yourself for the worst-case

This would make sense for a while,
But, only to your ego, right?

So, instead of predicting the meaning of your silence
Why don't I sit down here,
Admitting that I am not a mind-reader,
And wait for you
While you take your time to make sure
How you genuinely feel,
Arranging your best words for me

I don't believe you would sugarcoat anything,
But you picked your words carefully,
For you think I deserve it,
And that's how I know that my feelings mattered to you

Thank you, for thinking about me

And when you're ready to tell me,
I will listen, 'cause that's the truth
And if I still hear the worst,
I will still accept, 'cause this is our condition

And hearing my silence
You will give me all the time that I need

So, instead of predicting the meaning of my silence
Why don't you sit down here,
Admitting that you are not a mind-reader,
And wait for me
While I take my time to make sure
How I genuinely feel,
Arranging my best words for you

Because I understand your capacity,
And your ability
So I'll carefully, arrange my sentences,
To tell my truth,
I learned that as I know you,
And you'd say "Thank you, for thinking about me."
