Quiet as a Storm

I was really trying to make this work
I gave my best, tried to be the best
But I’ll never be enough for you
Just the wrong version of the one you love

Things were never truly right
I built a life on top of so many lies
I pulled you into my abyss, ignoring yours
I never knew how to be better, and trying, I just made it worse

'Cause this is what I'm made of, it’s how I am
I can try to stay quiet, but it never lasts
Once we stare into the dark too long
And it stares back, we’re never the same

Quiet as a storm
That’s what I am, that’s who I’ll be
I can’t change what’s burning in me
No matter how I love you
No matter how I need you
Quiet as a storm

I know he and I are made of the same thing
That maybe I could’ve been different, been better
But I'm not like that, I just can’t be
Maybe some people are just built to break

I'm sorry I'm that person
It kills me, all the shit I did that hurt you
But if that pain helped shape who you are
Then maybe I did one good thing in this life

Quiet as a storm
That’s what I am, that’s who I’ll be
I can’t change what’s burning in me
No matter how I love you
No matter how I need you
Quiet as a storm
