Quiet Times

Ask me where I go tonight
I'll go back to today last year.
Me and you had to make each other happier,
Now there was hope with everything.
It's hard enough to feel the world as it is
And hold on anything.
Without these quiet times
You've bought 'round here.
I'm gonna have to run away,
I'm sure that I belong
Some other place.
I've seen another side
Of all I've seen
It keeps me wondering
Where my family is.
It's hard enough to see the world as it is
And hold on anything.
Without these quiet times
Coming round here.
Now I miss you...
Now I want you...
But I can't have you...
Even when you're here...
Suppose I have to take you with me,
Broken mind, I'd rather leave you here
To forget everything you've seen and known erase every idea.
When you walk up in the street and hold my hand and smile.
Well, I won't be takin' it cause I know how it turns out.
And it takes me back to these quiet times coming 'round here.
Now I miss you...
Now I want you...
You're not coming back...
And I need you...
But I can't have you...
Even when you're here...
Now I miss you...
Now I want you...
You're not coming back...
And I need you...
But I can't have you...
Even when you're here
