Oooo Oooo Oooo Oooo Oooo Oooo First love, first kiss First job just trying to exist Spent those early years trying to fit in Then the later ones just trying to break out From scraped knees to broken hearts Every mile marker left its mark From childhood into who I’d become This was the place I learned it all Quietly - (Quietly) They say home is where the heart is Oooo Oooo Oooo Yeah, until the heart moves on Oooo Oooo Oooo It used to be a place of hope and dreaming The change didn’t come all at once Now it’s just a house full of memories That fades away quietly.... Oooo Quietly Quietly It used to be the last stop Now it’s just one along the way The small town grew into a city Traffic where we used to play All new faces pushing strollers Kids growing up where we once fell Every street still knows my name Every corner rings a bell Buildings still there But the souls gone Quietly - (Quietly) They say home is where the heart is Oooo Oooo Oooo But mine’s been drifting for years Oooo Oooo Oooo It used to be a place of plans and promise Now it’s crowded with yesterday’s fears I still love what it gave me Just don’t belong like I did Now it’s just a life I remember Slipping away, quietly... Quietly Quietly I’d find my way out, try to try something new But I’d always come back for the people I knew Every road led me right back home Till I realized I was here alone Now the reasons I stayed are gone And it’s time I keep moving on It’ll always be where I came from Just not where I’m meant to stay Some places raise you up strong So you know when to walk away I carry it with me wherever I go But I have to let it go quietly... Quietly Quietly Quietly Quietly
