Can't take the silence

I can’t take the silence

I just don’t know how to deal
When all I hear is quiet
I just don’t know how to feel
So I fill it up with fillers
Whatever comes to mind
No real rhyme or reason
Just whatever words I find
So don’t judge me to harshly
If I say something wrong
Maybe I just don’t know how to cope
With my thoughts when we’re alone
 
I don’t mean for this to be awkward 
And I’m not trying to make you my doctor 
But the thoughts that are running through my head, 
Make me wish that I was dead 
And they are never silent
So please don’t leave it silent
 
Maybe I say some dumb shit
And there’s times where I can’t keep secrets
Words just like to fall out my mouth
And sometimes situations go a little south
I need to let the tension out of my head
If you want to judge me go ahead
But I can’t take the silence
Oh no
I can’t take the silence
Cause it’s not silent in my head
 
I don’t mean for this to be awkward 
And I’m not trying to make you my doctor 
But the thoughts that are running through my head, 
Make me wish that I was dead 
And they are never silent
So please don’t leave it silent
