Quietly perfect Lyrics

Keep your secrets locked away inside your concrete soul

All the knowledge in the world will never make you whole

Love is such a stranger to a man who feels deserted

You who think and feel that you are somehow quietly perfect

I'll never know

Quite how you felt

And I'll never get the chance to ask you

No one could save you from yourself

And now you're sitting on a shelf

You're quietly perfect

A wooden box is all you give, a box in shades of grey

A simple gift to all the world of what you have to say

Illusion is a strange excuse for he who seems so certain

You're certain of the fact that you are somehow quietly perfect

I'll never know

Quite how you felt

And I'll never get the chance to ask you

No one could save you from yourself

And now you're sitting on a shelf

You're quietly perfect

Your world is only silence in a place that's full of sound

To live is an adventure that you've never really found

A shame for such a brilliant mind to have to draw the curtain

You truly were an angel, you were somehow quietly perfect

I'll never know

Quite how you felt

And I'll never get the chance to ask you

No one could save you from yourself

And now you're sitting on a shelf

You're quietly perfect

Quietly perfect
