Never went quiet

Intro

Verse 1
He said, I didn't figure you for comin' out here alone
I told him, I still got your number saved up in my phone
He said, So how you been, and I said, Honest, I been doin' fine
I said, I ain't the one who went and crossed the line and broke it all
He laughed and said, You ain't changed a bit since the day I knew ya
I said, Baby, people only change when they decide they wanna
He said, Love oughta be quiet, and I laughed and said, We're gonna
I said, I never was the quiet kind, and that's why I outgrew ya

Hook
If I seen you tomorrow I'd say, You lost a real good friend
I'd say, Don't go thinkin' twice about it, I ain't comin' back again
I'd tell you, I never once went quiet the way you wanted me to
I'd say, I'm louder now than ever, and I'm proud, and so are you

Verse 2
He said, This town got quieter since the last time I saw your face
He said, I hear your voice in my head each time the rain begins to fall
I said, The town went quiet, honey, that ain't never been my shame
I said, I got a name now, and it don't answer to your name
He said, So does anybody know what you turned into, I guess
I said, Everybody knows it, darlin', they all know my name by heart
I said, You want to talk it over, you can meet me on the floor
I said, I didn't come here lookin' for you, I'll be at the door

Verse 3
He said, You know I told you nothin' but the truth the whole way through
I said, Honey, you just told the truth to everybody but you
I said, Keep on askin', but you know I'm gonna tell you the same
He said, You always had a mouth on you, and you know that it's true
I said, This mouth ain't ever cost me one thing, that's a fact I keep
I said, It's the only thing I own that ever taught me what to keep
He said, So is there anything you wanna say to me tonight
I said, I said it all already, and I ain't the one who stays

Outro
He said my name like a question hanging in the air so plain
I walked off with my head up and said, Don't you call me, I'm free
