Quiet

We were in the most beautiful place

You told me to listen

Said I just might hear something

I closed my eyes and for a moment I was

Alone in the silence

I thought

"If I can't hear it in a place like this

Then there's really nothing out there

Is there?"

I tried to listen

I tried to feel it

I did it for you

But every time I close my eyes

It's still just me here

And even though I know I'm alone

I'm never lonely

My mama always said you could feel the warmth when you needed it most

Feel it wrap its arms around you

I never felt that embrace

It's always just been me

I tried to listen

I tried to feel it

I did it for you

But every time I close my eyes

It's still just me here

And even though I know I'm alone

I'm never lonely

No I'm never lonely

I just close my eyes

And listen to the quiet

I listen to the quiet

Your voice wavered as you said

"It's just that I love you

And I wish I could share this with you"

I put my ear to the sky

And tried to hear anything

That could bring me to you

I tried to listen

I tried to feel it

I did it for you

But every time I close my eyes

It's still just me here

And even though I know I'm alone

I'm never lonely

No I'm never lonely

I listen to the quiet

I listen to the quiet
