I loved you once in silence
And misery was all I knew
Trying so to keep my love from showing
All the while not knowing
If you loved me too
Yes, loved me in lonesome silence
My heart filled with dark despair
Thinking love would flame in me forever
And you'd never, never know the flame was there
Then one day, we cast away our secret longing
The raging tide we held inside would hold no more
The silence at last was broken
We flung wide our prison door
Every joyous word of love was spoken
And now there's twice as much grief
Twice the strain for us
Twice the despair
Twice the pain for us
As we had known before
