Koosje - Quiet Portrait
Every now and then I’m falling down
I don’t feel at home when you’re not around
I’ve tried to get up and dust myself off
Wanted to speak but I didn’t make a sound
★ Chorus ★
What am I but a quiet portrait
A silhouette of who I used to be
No, no there’s no need to illustrate
Cos I’m the one who has to wait
Shed a tear for all us mortals
Nothing ever lasts, not even you
The road we build will crumble fast
And that night we had will never come back
★ Verse 2 ★
Maybe I should take my own advice
But clinging to someone comes at a price
You shattеr my sleep in a blink of an eye
Now I sink deeper and deepеr in the corner of my mind
★ Chorus ★
What am I but a quiet portrait
A silhouette of who I used to be
No, no there’s no need to illustrate
Cos I’m the one who has to wait
Shed a tear for all us mortals
Nothing ever lasts, not even you
The road we build will crumble fast
And that night we had will never come back
