La Roux - Silent Partner lyrics

I've been livin' in a lot of shadows

Why won't you let me leave?

And I've been tryna find my way to the shallows

But the water's just too deep

Always somethin' inside of me

Keeps draggin' me down

I'm goin' deeper in the undertow

And it won't let go

All I need is silence

There's a thumpin' that's filled with violence

And he creeps in through the walls at night when

When I can't see, happy, frown, sad

Good or bad, all I need is silence

All I need is silence

Oh, I'm cryin' out for silence

You're not my partner, no you're not a part of me

I need silence

So tired of breathin' in numbers

Tryin' to stop my racin' heart

All I know is that I want it to stop

But I don't know where to start

You're always on my shoulder, but I won't

Try anymore

And conversations that begin to shout

Are you happy now?

All I need is silence

There's a thumpin' that's filled with violence

And he creeps in through the walls at night when

When I can't see, happy, frown, sad

Good or bad, all I need is silence

All I need is silence

Oh, I'm cryin' out for silence

You're not my partner, no you're not a part of me

I need silence

All I need is silence

Oh, I'm cryin' out for silence

You're not my partner, no you're not a part of me

I need silence

All I need is silence

Oh, I'm cryin' out for silence

You're not my partner, no you're not a part of me

I need silence

There's a thumpin' that's filled with violence

And he creeps in through the walls at night when

When I can't see, happy, frown, sad

Good or bad, all I need is silence

All I need is silence

Oh, I'm cryin' out for silence

You're not my partner, no you're not a part of me

I need silence

There's a thumpin' that's filled with violence

And he creeps in through the walls at night when

When I can't see, happy, frown, sad

Good or bad, all I need is silence

All I need is silence

Oh, I'm cryin' out for silence

You're not my partner, no you're not a part of me

I need silence
