Queen of Quiet

Verse

She said she hated drama, wanted calm like Sunday rain,

But she lit my life on fire, then blamed me for the flame.

Slipped out with some low-down liar, left me holdin' empty hands,

Swore she craved the silence, but she screamed across the land.

Verse

Then came the sirens, cuffs too tight for what I didn't do,

Cops hauled me off for her story-guess that's what liars do.

Said I laid a hand on her, tears rehearsed like stage play lies,

Sat in that cell for forty-eight, starin' down a life of goodbyes.

Chorus

Wasn't you the queen of quiet, hate the fuss and the fight?

Now you're actin' like a victim while you dimmed out all my light.

Falsely locked me up for lovin' you, then smirked when I got free-

Turns out the calm you wanted was just space to bury me.

Bridge

Judge let me walk, no evidence, but the shame still sticks around,

Like bootprints on my mirror from the hell you dragged me down.

Never touched you baby, but you bruised me just the same,

And I'll carry that badge-shaped scar long after you change your name.

Chorus

Wasn't you the queen of quiet, hate the fuss and the fight?

Now you're actin' like a victim while you dimmed out all my light.

Falsely locked me up for lovin' you, then smirked when I got free-

Turns out the calm you wanted was just space to bury me.
