Quiet

Count my blessings

I don't have many left

I used them all to chase a dream

I knew I'd never get

Now I'm empty

And feeling the effects

Of my naiveté

And lack of self respect

And I've been thinking

What's the goal

Of making something beautiful

Just to watch it fall?

The ups and downs

The ebb and flow

I don't want it anymore

Can't foresee

Anything with any

Certainty

I feel the weight of all this on my chest

I can't breath unless I don't think

Keep my mind at bay

And I'll stay

Quiet

Oh I know what you said (I know, I know)

But I didn't listen (I know, I know)

And I'm sorry for that (I know, I know)

But I can't take it back (I know, I know)

Oh leave me, leave me be

And I'll be alright, alright eventually

Leave me, leave me be

And I'll be alright, alright eventually

Leave me, leave me be

And I'll be alright, alright eventually

Leave me, leave me be

And I'll be alright, alright eventually

And I'll stay

Quiet
