pedro the lion - quietest friend lyrics
[verse 1]
staving off rejection, which always hurt like h-ll
i took the devil’s bargain, made a stranger of myself
if anything was wrong, i couldn’t tell
so i didn’t see it coming but now it’s pretty clear
i traded my own wisdom for a jury of my peers
i ignored you for thirty years
[chorus]
you don’t have to tell me
how hard it must have been
for you to let me in
nothing lasts forever
now i understand
i hurt you again
my quietest friend
[verse 2]
fifth grade in the lunchroom, fickle friends were telling jokes
making you the punchline of some random thing i wrote
they were looking to me to land the final blow
just to be included, went straight up to my head
i thought the joke too stupid for it to matter what i said
i was wrong but i went along with it
[chorus]
you don’t have to tell me
how hard it must have been
for you to let me in
nothing lasts forever
now i understand
i hurt you again
my quietest friend
[bridge]
we could write me some reminders
i’d memorize them
i could sing them to myself
and whoever’s listening
i could put them on a record
about my hometown
sitting here with pen and paper
i’m listening now
