Lyrics

Quiet now
There’s nothing to cry about
Let the silence swallow your grieving heart
We did the best we could

Dry your eyes
And I’ll set my pride to the side
Let the rain pass by; it’s a stormy sky
But the sun is waiting on the other side

Oh no, I know it seems we’ve wasted precious time
Oh no, I know we’ve laid our souls out on the line
But baby, you’re great
You’ll have a place
Our love is safe in yesterday

Smile now
Listen to the quiet sound
Let your love go down where your soles meet ground
And you’ll feel it all around

Oh no, I know you know we’ve wasted so much time
Oh no, I know we’ve laid our lives out on the line
But baby, I bet we come out stronger—better,
Don’t be bitter in the end

And don’t forget how it felt
What those eight little infamous letters represent
I was too scared to spell them out with my breath
They got stuck at a dead end, trapped inside my head

So now I’ll spill all these words I’ve held back
You are worthy of more than my thoughtless thoughts had expressed
I must admit I was a bit of a train wreck
But you’re a star shooting far and I thought you should know it

You weren’t there
I needed you
But you weren’t there
