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
