Quietly

The bottom of my glass is stained with jealousy

I can't hold back my tears

So now I fail to see

The passing of the years in perfect synchrony

With every single shiver of my fantasy

The bottom of my heart is filled with memories

I've tried so hard to keep them, floating in the deep (but they flow too deep),

They’re on their way and sink into my blindest dream

I should begin

To stand until the night goes by

To love the names you chose to hide

To trade your whisper for my cry

I saw you glaring at the starting line

It's anybody's fault but mine

Your slivers in my eyes

I must perform the rite

'Cause it's our middle age

I'm not too proud to say I never knelt to pray

It's strange how we forget the latest / last few words we say

And anything we’ve learned has just been blown away

The simplest way

To stand until the night goes by

To love the names you chose to hide

To trade your whisper for my sigh

I saw her glaring at our perfect rhyme

It's anybody's fault but mine

Your slivers in my heart

We have to fall apart

But always quietly
