Lyrics for It's Always the Quiet Ones

Brittle little smile Pretty petrol eyes We keep our shadows locked up here inside Try not to offend Or to disappoint them Write them letters you will never send Oh, they stay in shadows All the heartbreakers Oh, they stay in shadows All the troublemakers It's always the quiet ones It's always the quiet ones Don't show that you're hurt (ah-ah) You won't be the first (ah-ah) To hide the bruises, there under your shirt Oh, and your secret's safe with me (ah-ah) So, admit your complicity (ah-ah) And write them words that they will never read Oh, they stay in shadows All the heartbreakers Oh, they stay in shadows All the troublemakers It's always the quiet ones It's always the quiet ones Oh, they stay in shadows All the heartbreakers Oh, they sink in shadows All the troublemakers Oh, they stay in shadows All the heartbreakers Oh, they stay in shadows All the troublemakers It's always the quiet ones It's always the quiet ones
