"The Quiet" lyrics

I was so young, so much unsung
Wish I could help the girl that I was
Ooh, you were such a fraud
Oh, my God

Well-played solitaire, unkept pinky swear
No mind paid to how you were unfair
Leave me alone

I know some things, they never change
The pang of wonder, hard to name
If I should keep some hope alive
I hold my hand against the light
Shone on
The quiet that I've become

I once had fun, I was the one
Who would jump in a tall field of flowers
Ooh, when you say I'm lost
You're not wrong

A paper dove, all torn up
Just like all of the good things you take
Go away

I know some things, they never change
The pang of wonder, hard to name
If I should keep some hope alive
I hold my hand against the light
Shone on
The quiet that I've become
