Lyrics
You played it cool and I played it (F5)dumb.
Don’t you think I’m a lit tle too (Ebsus)young to be messed with like that?
So con vinc ing, you made it look (F5)fun.
Laugh it off, but the dam age is (Ebsus)done, say ing, “Ba by, just re lax.”
(Bbm)I got my hopes too high.
(Ab)You hard ly said good bye, then (Db)cas ual ly walked out of my (Eb)life.
Oh, we don’t (Db)talk an y more, talk an y more, talk an y (Ab)more.
Gave me the si lent treat ment.
The least you could ’ve done was (Fm)give me a rea son.
And (Db)I can’t ig nore, I can’t ig nore, I can’t ig (Ab)nore the way I hate you for leav (Eb)ing.
Too much free time star ing (Fm)up at the ceil ing.
It’s been a month since you went and checked (Ab)in.
I wan na ask, “Where the hell have you (Eb)been?” ’Cause I’ve been right where you left me.
Poured my self con trol down the (Ab)sink.
I al most die ev ’ry time the phone (Eb)rings.
Why won’t some bod y help (Fm)me?
(Bbm)I got my hopes too high, (Ab)read in be tween the lines.
(Db)Am I sup posed to read your (Eb)mind?
Oh, we don’t (CN.C.)talk an y more, talk an y more, talk an y more.
Gave me the si lent treat ment.
The least you could ’ve done was (Fm)give me a rea son.
And (Db)I can’t ig nore, I can’t ig nore, I can’t ig (Ab)nore the way I hate you for leav (Eb)ing.
Too much free time star ing (Fm)up at the ceil ing.
You’re a nar cis sist, I’m an op ti mist.
Name a dead li er com bo.
Some thing’s wrong with us.
Ain’t it ob vi ous?
Build me up and then, oh no.
Call me just a friend, here we go a gain.
Tell them all that you hate me, hate me.
It’s like you e (Eb)rased me.
’Cause we don’t (Db5)talk an y more, talk an y more, talk an y (Ab5)more.
Gave me the si lent treat ment.
Did you go find some one or (F5)am I the rea son?
And (Db)I can’t ig nore, I can’t ig nore, I can’t ig (Ab)nore the way I hate you for leav (Eb)ing.
Too much free time star ing (Fm)up at the ceil ing.
Give me a rea son for the treat ment I’ve been (Fm)feel ing.
Give me a rea son for you leav ing.
I’ve been (Fm)scream ing.
Silent Treatment — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial
12 people have learned this song
Watch "Silent Treatment" by Freya Skye in falling notes style — like Synthesia. Color-coded notes fall onto the keyboard in real time. Practice left hand, right hand, or both. Key of Db, 120 BPM.
This arrangement sits in Db major, so your hands will be living mostly on the black keys — which actually feels quite natural once you settle in, since the hand shapes tend to fall comfortably under your fingers.
At 120 BPM the rhythm has a steady pop pulse, but watch for syncopated phrases in the right hand where melody notes land just before or after the beat; tap those rhythms out on your knee before adding pitch.
Your left hand will cycle through chord patterns that repeat across sections, so spend a few minutes drilling just the left hand at half tempo until those transitions — especially any movement between Gb and Ab — feel automatic.
Once that's solid, layer in the right hand slowly.
A common stumble here is rushing through held notes to "catch up" to the next phrase; trust the timing and let notes breathe.
If a particular transition trips you up, loop just that two-bar window until it's effortless.
This is a great piece for building confidence with flat-key voicings and locking syncopated melodies against a steady bass — skills that transfer to so much of modern pop piano.
