In the Quiet

Oh, I have lived my life hiding inside these static lines The chaos of a panicked mind Oh, I am the violence between my lowest lows And my highest highs Oh, I have lived my life Waiting for somebody to tell me it'll be all right Only nineteen years old and still running out of time I don't know who I am But I am no friend of mine And in the quiet, it's just me and my words I don't have to play the role of everyone's favorite girl And in the quiet, I am found Oh, I love the silence now And in the quiet, there's no need to pretend I don't have to smile through it all over and over again And in the quiet, I am found Oh, I love the silence now Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, I have wasted so much time In this constant stream of noise Filled my mind with the outside world Can't hear my own voice Oh, I wrapped myself around you and all our hollow promises Now I'm left alone with my regrets But at first you were a screaming wound That bled freely in this silent room But now the absence of you is a quiet ache That doesn't hurt as much as I want it to And in the quiet, it's just me and my words I don't have to play the role of everyone's favorite girl And in the quiet, I am found Oh, I love the silence now And in the quiet, there's no need to pretend I don't have to smile through it all over and over again And in the quiet, I am found Oh, I love the silence now Quiet, it's just me and my words I don't have to play the role of everyone's favorite girl And in the quiet, I am found Oh, I love the silence now And in the quiet, there's no need to pretend I don't have to smile through it all over and over again And in the quiet, I am found Oh, I love the silence now Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
