Quiet Days Lyrics

They tell me I'm the strong one, but I don't feel that way these days

Say that I'm an inspiration, but home alone I contemplate

Do they really know me, or am I just another face

Do they see what I am made of, or am I just commonplace

Cause lately this old town don't feel so comfortable now

They don't know the things I tell them are the things I need to hear

So I say those words to millions, wishing I could hear them in my own ear

They don't know the only way that I can live through the day is

If I help someone else not have to feel this way

But the pain is taking over, and as the numbers start to grow

There are less and less numbers ringing through on my phone

So I deal with it this way, cause no one calls to see if I'm okay

They see the finished pieces that I've curated for days

The music and the pauses made to make you feel some type of way

But I don't think they know that when I'm putting down my phone

With my 60 seconds over, I cry cause I'm alone

They're there for the story, they're there for the fight

But they have no idea what I'm battling each night

I'm important on the quiet days too

Cause those are the ones I'm really fighting through

They don't know the things I tell them are the things I need to hear

So I say those words to millions, wishing I could hear them in my own ear

They don't know the only way that I can live through the day is

If I help someone else not have to feel this way

Cause the pain is taking over and as the numbers start to grow

There are less and less numbers ringing through on my phone

So I deal with it this way, cause no one calls to see if I'm okay

Yes, I hope I don't do it today

No one will call to see if I'm okay
