QUIET HEART

[Verse 1] I stopped waiting for a moment That was never really mine Burned the picture of a future That looked safe from far behind I’ve been moving through the silence Like it’s something I can hold Learning how to be a woman Without needing hands to hold [Pre-Chorus] I’m not broken I’m not lost I just know what love should cost [Chorus] My heart’s quiet now But it isn’t gone It’s just resting ‘Til the right thing comes along I don’t fall for noise I don’t chase the rush I’d rather be alone Than in love and not enough [Verse 2] I’ve kissed strangers in new cities Heard my name in different tongues Watched the girls I used to follow Tie their hearts to smaller loves I don’t need to be held together I don’t need someone to stay I’m not scared of empty mornings I’m not scared to walk away [Pre-Chorus 2] I’m not bitter I’m not cold I just won’t fit into a love too small [Chorus] My heart’s quiet now But it isn’t gone It’s just resting ‘Til the right thing comes along I don’t fall for noise I don’t chase the rush I’d rather be alone Than in love and not enough [Bridge] If it wakes me, it will shake me If it finds me, it’ll be rare I won’t bend into a feeling Just to say I ended up somewhere I don’t need it just to breathe I don’t need it just to feel If it’s real, it will be real If it’s not, I’m still healed [Final Chorus] My heart’s quiet now And I chose the calm I’d rather stand alone in peace Than be held in someone’s arms
