[ Featuring Henk van ter Meij ]
So many people but yet so lonely
In my own head but it's so busy
Walking past so many voices
But I'm feeling speechless
Days are usually not this hard
There's something tearing me apart
I try to scream I try to shout
Can't seem to get it out
When I am quiet
It doesn't mean I've got nothing to say
When I am quiet
It's not that I intend to ignore you
A million different words through my head
There's a hundred different things I should've said
But I stayed quiet
And just prayed for the best
Though I really can be the life of the party
It's not hard for me to socialize
But sometimes it all shuts down
It happens faster than I realize
When I am quiet
It doesn't mean I've got nothing to say
When I am quiet
It's not that I intend to ignore you
A million different words through my head
There's a hundred different things I should've said
But I stayed quiet
And just prayed for the best
It's not that I am scared
That I am shy
Sometimes i'm lost for words I don't know why
Can't explain it
So complicated
Speaking to strangers
So overrated
And I
Need you to know
That when I am quiet
It doesn't mean I've got nothing to say
When I am quiet
It's not that I intend to ignore you
A million different words through my head
There's a hundred different things I should've said
But I stayed quiet
And just prayed for the best
For the best
For the best
