How Could I Be Silent

How could I be silent?
I used to wonder if I could ever by loved
Never gonna live up, should I give up? Will I ever be enough?

What I didn’t understand is you love me as I am

I don’t care what anybody thinks about me
You’re the only one that I need
No, I don’t care what anybody thinks about me

Chorus
How could I be silent when there’s all this joy inside my heart
How could I be quiet when you gave me light to pierce the dark
How could I be silent, I will not be silent
Even though my sin had left crimson, you washed away those stains
And the grace you’ve given is the reason I’ll never be the same
How could I be silent, I will not be silent, how could I be silent

I didn’t wanna stand out, kept my head down, insecure inside my skin
Always looking back over, my shoulder, making sure I blended in
Then you gave me a new name, and I never was the same

I don’t care what anybody thinks about me
You’re the only one that I need
No, I don’t care what anybody thinks about me

Bridge
I would not be silent (okay, yep)
You’re the one that I, one that I, one that I need
You’re the one that I, one that I, one that I need
You’re the one that I, one that I, one that I need
(I don’t care what anybody thinks about me)
You’re the one that I, one that I, one that I need
I don’t care what anybody thinks about me

How could I be silent, I will not be silent, how could I be silent
You’re the one that I, one that I, one that I need
(How could I be) You’re the one that I, one that I, one that I need
(How could I be, how could I be)
You’re the one that I, one that I, one that I need
(How could I be) yeah
You’re the one that I, one that I, one that I need
