Ilse DeLange - Quiet

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

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

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….

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

This thing was never a sure bet
But I was deeply invested
How bout you, you?
I can’t just move on and let go
I’ve got a hole in my chest oh
How bout you, how bout you?

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 that
I’m quiet
