Lyrics

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Two years ago I told them all that I was done
And they looked so relieved, they hugged me one by one
But the light under my door never once went out
Headphones on, amp at zero, nobody heard a sound

[Build]

[Chorus]
I lied, and I'm saying it out loud at one a.m.
I never put it down, I just stopped telling them
Volume set at three so the house stayed quiet
I never quit — I just got quiet
(I just got quiet)

[Drop]

[Verse 2]
Calluses nobody asked about, I kept my hands in my sleeves
Skipped a hundred Friday nights on this bedroom floor
Got good at the one thing I wasn't supposed to want anymore

[Build 2]

[Chorus 2]
I lied, and tonight it's finally about to be real
There's a notebook under the mattress with everything I didn't say
Next time that you hear it, the door won't be shut behind it
I never quit — I just got quiet
(I just got quiet)

[Drop 2]

[Breakdown]
Back against the bed, my phone against my ear
You're the only one still on the line to hear
So I'll say it once, and then I'm going to prove it

[Final Build]

[Final Drop]

[Outro]
Light under the door, two years of nothing but it
I never quit — I just got quiet
