[Verse 1]
You're dreaming of a different me
You said it all, I've heard it all before
Tell me something I don't know
I'm not the opportunity I used to be
How did I wash up on your shores
Where only the prettiest things grow?

[Chorus]
And all along another disappointment, it shows
In all honesty, I'm wasted in your eyes
And on and on and all along the silence, it grows
So I sing me another song to keep the quiet out
Ooh, to keep the quiet out

[Verse 2]
It's not the way the whole world sees you
Tell yourself, pick yourself up off the floor
'Cause you're the one who's running this show
The games we play as children, they still feel the same
They can't take that from you
With that kind of love, you won't grow old
And if you say that I'm not free
Well, I disagree, I know myself too long
To sell my soul for your fool's gold
[Chorus]
And all along another disappointment, it shows
In all honesty, I'm wasted in your eyes
And on and on and all along the silence, it grows
So I sing me another song to keep the quiet out
And on and on and all along the silence, it grows
So I sing me another song to keep the quiet out

[Bridge]
So don't waste your time fighting
'Cause you can't put out this light
And this story I'm writing
It ain't always a pretty sight
It ain't always a pretty sight
It ain't always, oh
It ain't always a pretty sight, oh

[Chorus]
And all along another disappointment, it shows
In all honesty, I'm wasted in your eyes
And on and on and all along the silence, it grows
So I sing me another song to keep the quiet out
And on and on and all along the silence, it grows
So I sing me another song to keep the quiet out
Ooh, to keep the quiet out
