Intro
Phone don't buzz like it used to Room stays warm when the sun goes down
Verse 1
Used to chase the flash till the sky turned gray Heels in the back seat, heart in a race Names on the screen I can't even place Woke up in the same clothes, same empty space Now the door clicks soft when you walk in slow No more sirens calling from the club below Your hand on my back when the quiet hits No more proving I still got the spark that splits I see the looks when we skip the late call They say we got old, we don't run the hall But the crash don't come when the morning light breaks I trade the rush for the way your voice stays
Chorus
Quiet don't lie, we still breathing slow Quiet don't lie, the chaos let go We pick the low lights, the steady hand Quiet don't lie, this the life we planned Quiet don't lie when the noise cuts out Quiet don't lie, we don't need the shout Slow nights hit different when the heart don't race Quiet don't lie, we in a better place
Verse 2
You used to light the room with every step you took Now you save the fire for the way the kettle looks Friends hit the group chat with the same old hook "Y'all too quiet, where the wild ones at?" We laugh it off but the sting sits in the chest Like we lost the crown when we chose the rest But the old crown was heavy, made of glass and sweat It cut when it fell, left a mark on the neck Now the nights end early but the mornings feel clean No more guessing who you are when the sun hits the screen Your eyes stay soft when the quiet settles in We don't need the chaos to know where we've been
Chorus
Quiet don't lie, we still breathing slow Quiet don't lie, the chaos let go We pick the low lights, the steady hand Quiet don't lie, this the life we planned Quiet don't lie when the noise cuts out Quiet don't lie, we don't need the shout Slow nights hit different when the heart don't race Quiet don't lie, we in a better place
Bridge
I miss the way the bass shook my chest sometimes The way the lights made me feel like I could fly But the crash always came, left me counting the cost Waking up empty, everything lost Now the quiet holds me, it don't let me fall I still got the fire, just not for the brawl They can call it washed, I call it the wall I built it to last, not to crumble at all
Chorus
Quiet don't lie, we still breathing slow Quiet don't lie, the chaos let go We pick the low lights, the steady hand Quiet don't lie, this the life we planned Quiet don't lie when the noise cuts out Quiet don't lie, we don't need the shout Slow nights hit different when the heart don't race Quiet don't lie, we in a better place
Outro
Quiet don't lie, we in a better place
Inside the recording
Phone don't buzz like it used to Room stays warm when the sun goes down
Quiet don't lie, we still breathing slow Quiet don't lie, the chaos let go
Quiet don't lie, we in a better place
