Quiet whispers in your corner
Be careful not to raise your voice
The city streets are always quiet
If only you'd listen
Inspiration is never what you wanted it to be
We're here now anyway
I hope I don't interfere
But then the words seemed stronger
Though yours touch me all the same
Like looking at old photographs
You always manage to make me cry
There's no need to tell me any more
It's why I don't hear you now
There's just a longing for moments past
And I'm waiting for your greatness
If you wonder long enough
You find those mistakes you made
It's easier to forget than to face the facts
I always was just like everybody else
But then the words seemed stronger
Though yours touch me all the same
Like looking at old photographs
You always manage to make me cry
There's no need to tell me any more
It's why I don't hear you now
Quiet whispers in your corner
Be careful not to raise your voice
The city streets are always quiet
If only you'd listen
