Quiet Kid

(album: Sunset - 2019)

I was a quiet kid
Not that you'll see
I got good at hiding things
So I could be free

You wouldn't think a quiet kid
Would grow up to be someone like me
But I got good at pretending
Who I wanna be

I used to be the only one
Without an attitude
Now I'm shaving and I'm gray
And I've got nothing to lose

There was a time I used to lie
And I would hide away
Now I can say I know
I'll never be afraid of you

And I've been fighting for
I've been crying for too long
Crying for too long

And I will show the world
That I am more than that boy
Who hides and grows old

I was a quiet kid
Not that you'll see
I got good at hiding things
So I could be free

You wouldn't think a quiet kid
Would grow up to be someone like me
But I got good at pretending
Who I wanna be

I got good at pretending
Who I wanna be

And I've been fighting for
I've been crying for too long
Crying for too long

And when I'm scared or when my back
Is up against the wall
No I ain't gonna turn around
I will face it all

And I don't need to be the loudest
To be the last one standing
And I'll stand here

I was a quiet kid
Not that you'll see
I got good at hiding things
So I could be free

You wouldn't think a quiet kid
Would grow up to be someone like me
But I got good at pretending
Who I wanna be

I got good at pretending
Who I wanna be

I got good at pretending
Who I wanna be
