Keep the Quiet Out

[Verse 1]

You're dreaming of a different me

You said it all, I've heard it all before

Tell me something I don't know

I'm not the opportunity I used to be

How did I wash up on your shores

Where only the prettiest things grow?

[Chorus]

And all along another disappointment, it shows

In all honesty, I'm wasted in your eyes

And on and on and all along the silence, it grows

So I sing me another song to keep the quiet out

Ooh, to keep the quiet out

[Verse 2]

It's not the way the whole world sees you

Tell yourself, pick yourself up off the floor

'Cause you're the one who's running this show

The games we play as children, they still feel the same

They can't take that from you

With that kind of love, you won't grow old

And if you say that I'm not free

Well, I disagree, I know myself too long

To sell my soul for your fool's gold

[Chorus]

And all along another disappointment, it shows

In all honesty, I'm wasted in your eyes

And on and on and all along the silence, it grows

So I sing me another song to keep the quiet out

And on and on and all along the silence, it grows

So I sing me another song to keep the quiet out

[Bridge]

So don't waste your time fighting

'Cause you can't put out this light

And this story I'm writing

It ain't always a pretty sight

It ain't always a pretty sight

It ain't always, oh

It ain't always a pretty sight, oh

[Chorus]

And all along another disappointment, it shows

In all honesty, I'm wasted in your eyes

And on and on and all along the silence, it grows

So I sing me another song to keep the quiet out

And on and on and all along the silence, it grows

So I sing me another song to keep the quiet out

Ooh, to keep the quiet out
