the quiet part: lyrics
- You still haven’t fixed the handle on the door.
- I tripped again on your boots left on the floor.
- You’re humming while you make that burnt dark roast,
- And scraping all the black off of your toast.
- I’m sitting here just watching how you chew,
- Counting up the years I spent on you.
- Everyone was right, but I was proud.
- I guess I’ll say the quiet part out loud.
- The quiet part is that I don’t like you.
- The quiet part is that I never did.
- I loved the way you looked inside my head,
- But I can’t stand a single thing you said.
- The quiet part is that I’m leaving.
- The quiet part is that I’m finally done.
- I’m not the girl who waits for you to change,
- I’m just the one who’s tired of being strange.
- You tell the same three stories at the bar.
- You never put the petrol in the car.
- You think you’re deep because you read the news,
- But you can’t even pick the things you lose.
- I used to think your silence was a gift,
- But now I see it’s just a boring shift.
- I’m packing up the mugs and the spare keys,
- I’m finally feeling lighter on my knees.
- The quiet part is that I don’t like you.
- The quiet part is that I never did.
- I loved the way you looked inside my head,
- But I can’t stand a single thing you said.
- The quiet part is that I’m leaving.
- The quiet part is that I’m finally done.
- I’m not the girl who waits for you to change,
- I’m just the one who’s tired of being strange.
- It’s not a tragedy or some big fight.
- It’s just a realization in the light.
- I don’t hate you, that would take too much.
- I just don’t want to feel your heavy touch.
- The quiet part is that I don’t like you.
- The quiet part is that I never did.
- I loved the way you looked inside my head,
- But I can’t stand a single thing you said.
- The quiet part is that I’m leaving.
- The quiet part is that I’m finally done.
- I’m not the girl who waits for you to change,
- I’m just the one who’s tired of being strange.
