Quiet Side Of The Party
I’m a sentimental soul, he said, I’m a sentimental soul
I been through things that no-one on this earth should’ve ever been
And it may seem sentimental but it’s healthy to get this stuff off my chest
In the past year I lost a best friend, and more
I lost my great love, he said, I lost my great love
After three years she cheated and threw me away
Broke my heart in two
I walked the beach all day, just looking for some answers
Then I played some songs
And we all let it settle
Took some time to process all that we had come to know
We saw this sentimental soul, and the paintings of his pain
And we couldn’t help but feel it too
You’re an artist too, he said, you’re an artist too
So you know what I mean when I speak about these things
Then he spoke about what all his work meant to him
His words coulda been my own
Many other people that I coulda seen there
But small talk isn’t something that I really care for
And I’d rather be on this quiet side any day
Real life is heavy and it sometimes hurts
But the benefit is knowing someone inside and outside
And seeing all their pains and anguish laid bare
I’m a sentimental soul, he said, I’m a sentimental soul
I been through things that no-one on this earth should’ve ever been
And it may seem sentimental but it’s healthy to get this stuff off my chest
In the past year I lost a best friend, and more
