Quietest Friend |
| Staving off rejection, which always hurt like hell |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
