Lyrics

You liked me better quiet
You said I had control
You said I kept it easy
Never pushed, never pulled
You called it understanding
You called it playing smart
But you were just mistaking
My silence for a part
You thought I wouldn't notice
The way you moved around
The way you kept it shifting
Without a steady ground
You thought I'd keep it simple
Just smile and let it pass
But I was keeping count of
Every time you asked
I didn't raise my voice
I didn't make a scene
But don't confuse the calm
With what you think it means
I was quiet, not blind
I was patient, not kind
I was giving you time
You were wasting mine
I was quiet, now I'm not
You don't get the same version
You don't get that tone
You don't get the silence
That made you feel at home
I don't soften the edges
I don't let it slide
You don't get to call it calm
When I was just deciding
I didn't raise my voice
I didn't make a scene
But don't confuse the calm
With what you think it means
I was quiet, not blind
I was patient, not kind
I was giving you time
You were wasting mine
I was quiet, now I'm not
I was quiet
You were wrong
Now you hear me
Clear and strong
