"Quietly" lyrics

"Quietly"

So now that they know
That you don't belong here
Where did you go?
And who else is in there?

I've been running behind, you're afraid that you're late
You were caught in a lie, I've been hiding my age

I just sat there quietly
Hear all your demands
I just sat there quietly
Hear all your demands

Been pulling this rope
Been trying to define you
Who did you hurt?
And baby, who hurt you?

You've been running behind, and I'm afraid you're too late
I've been losing the fight, and you've been acting insane

I just sat there quietly
Hear all your demands
I just sat there quietly
Hear all your demands

You stare at your fists, pistons violently shaking
Your plans got off track, but he clearly won't make it
Back home, or it's two people gnashing their blood-colored teeth
So you stare in the mist and you finally take it
Your plans had to change, you've been violent and vacant
I know who you are, look at me don't you dare try to leave
Oh

I just sat there quietly
Hear all your demands
I just sat there quietly
Hear all your demands
