  • You lift me up
    And knock me down
    I'm never sure just what to feel when you're around
    I speak my heart
    But don't know why
    'Cause you don't never really say what's on you mind

    It's like
    I'm walking on broken glass
    I wanna know but I don't wanna ask

    So say you love me
    Or say you need me
    Don't let the silence
    Do the talking
    Just say you want me
    Or you don't need me
    Don't let the silence
    Do the talking

    It's killing me (love in silence)
    It's killing me (love in silence)
    It's killing me (love in silence)

    You let me in
    But then sometimes
    Your empty eyes just make me feel so cold inside
    When I'm with you
    It's like rolling dice
    Don't know where or how you're gonna make me cry

    So say you love me
    Or say you need me
    Don't let the silence
    Do the talking
    Just say you want me
    Or you don't need me
    Don't let the silence
    Do the talking

    It's killing me (love in silence)
    It's killing me (love in silence)
    Oh oh oh oh (love in silence)

    It's like
    I'm (I'm) walking on (walking on) broken glass
    I wanna know but I don't wanna ask

    'Cause once you say it
    You can't take it back
    And this the end and please just fake it fast

    So say you love me
    Or say you need me
    Don't let the silence (ooh)
    Do the talking
    Just say you want me (say you want me)
    Or you don't need me (but you don't want me)
    Don't let the silence
    Do the talking

    Whoa (love in silence)
    Oh (love in silence)
    Whoa (love in silence)

    Oh yeah, oh (love in silence, love in silence, love in silence)
    You lift me up
    And knock me down
    I'm never sure just what to feel when you're around Writer/s: BILAL HAJJI, NADIR KHAYAT, SAVAN KOTECHA
