Quiet Kid

I was a quiet kid - not that you'll see I got good at hiding things so I could be free You wouldn't think a quiet kid would grow up to be someone like me But I got good at pretending who I wanna be I used to be the only one without an attitude Now I am shaving and I'm grey and I got nothing to lose There was a time I used to lie and I'd hide away Now I can say I know I'll never be afraid of you And I've been fighting for I've been crying for too long Crying for too long And I will show the world I am more than that boy Who hides and grows old I was a quiet kid - not that you'll see I got good at hiding things so I could be free You wouldn't think a quiet kid would grow up to be someone like me But I got good at pretending who I wanna be And I've been fighting for I've been crying for too long Crying for too long And when I'm scared and when my back is up against the wall Know I ain't gonna turn around, I will face it all And I don't need to be the loudest to be the last one standing And I'll stand here I was a quiet kid - not that you'll see I got good at hiding things so I could be free You wouldn't think a quiet kid would grow up to be someone like me But I got good at pretending who I wanna be I got good at pretending who I wanna be I got good at pretending who I wanna be --- Quiet Kid - Alex Day
