Words you wanna hear
You're dear
Quiet words that came
In hard-to-hear music
And easy-to-read labels
Generated by the quiet machine
You're his queen
You're his...
He tells you quiet daydreams
That he has
Of you and him and closer days
Is it enough of the same
Promises that I made
Chorus:
Quiet lies are hard to hear
After me, it seemed to you
They'd always be quite clear
He whispers in your ears
In your ears
Quiet lies and pretty rings
Friends shout to warn of things
But you can't hear
Your ears are closed to anything
But what he says
The quiet lies that stop up your ears
Chorus:
Quiet lies are hard to hear
After me, it seemed to you
They'd always be quite clear
He whispers in your ears
In your ears
Scribble down this
And I wish for you the best
I was closer than most
But the quiet lies block up the trust
You had in me
I miss the open ears you had
Before you were his
You are his
Quiet lies he tells to you
Quiet things you take as true
You're his queen
You're his...
Chorus:
Quiet lies are hard to hear
After me, it seemed to you
They'd always be quite clear
He whispers in your ears
In your ears
He whispers in your ears
And that is all that you can hear
