I really don’t blame him he chose not to call
he’d been there for hours crouched in the hall
he sent me the message my heart tore in two
said someone was dead he said it was you
there should have been bells
so everyone would know
’cause the silence is killing me
since you had to go
Why didn’t I see you were so lost?
Would have done anything, paid any cost
But I never asked, and you never said
And some days I wish, it was me instead
there should have been bells
so everyone would know
’cause the silence is killing me
since you had to go
no matter how black there’s always hope
but it’s hard to see at the end of your rope
in the middle of love now there’s a hole
silence so loud taking its toll
there should have been bells
so everyone would know
’cause the silence is killing me
since you had to go
