Ilse DeLange
Quiet
[Verse 1]
So many things I wanna to say
Ask a ton of questions
How do we end up in a fight
If we have only good intentions
We had only good intentions, right
There is an elephant in this room
I keep biting my lip
Chewing on my words
Tongue tied, dark doubts with no benefit
There's no benefit

[Chorus]
So I keep quiet, quiet
It's unlike you, it's unlike me
To keep quiet, quiet
And I can't believe that you can't believe that
This is never what I wanted
This is not where I wanna be
I keep quiet, quiet
I keep quiet

[Verse 2]
Every night my mind keeps racing
Countless messages
That I keep on erasing
There's no use for explanations
Who needs useless explanations, right
Whenever the dust settles
Maybe that's when we'll talk
Have a heart to heart
I might be old news to you
But it's something that I'll need to do
Till then ...
[Chorus]
I'm quiet, quiet
It's unlike you, it's unlike me
To keep quiet, quiet
And I can't believe that you can't believe that
This is never what I wanted
This is not where I wanna be
I keep quiet, quiet

[Bridge]
This thing was never a sure bet
But I was deeply invested
How about you
You
I can't just move on and let go
I've got a hole in my chest
Oh, how about you
How about you

[Chorus]
So I keep quiet, quiet
It's unlike you, it's unlike me
To keep quiet, quiet
And I can't believe that you can't believe
I'm quiet, quiet
It's unlike you, it's unlike me
To keep quiet, quiet
And I can't believe that you can't believe
I'm quiet
