Quiet When I Win

Verse 1

You like me better when I’m small

When I don’t answer, don’t stand tall

You talk like I’m a warning sign

Like I’m the problem every time

You say my silence makes you calm

But you flinch when I’m not wrong

I learned to breathe between the lines

Cut my truth to fit your size

Pre-Chorus

You don’t hear me when I’m low

But you panic when I glow

Funny how that always goes

Chorus

I get quiet when I win

You don’t notice till it’s done

No confetti, no amens

Just me standing in the sun

I don’t scream, I don’t forgive

I don’t beg to be your one

I get quiet when I win

Yeah, I already won

Verse 2

You count my flaws like souvenirs

Say you knew me all these years

But you only loved the parts

That never left a mark

You said I’d break without your hand

Guess you don’t understand

I don’t fall, I don’t fold

I just learned to let you go

Pre-Chorus

You confuse control with care

Truth hits harder when it’s fair

Now you’re talking to thin air

Chorus

I get quiet when I win

You don’t notice till it’s done

No forgiveness, no revenge

Just me stepping over love

I don’t shout, I don’t explain

I don’t need another run

I get quiet when I win

Yeah, I already won

Bridge (half-whisper, stripped)

Say my name like it’s a sin

Say I changed like that’s a crime

I just stopped asking for permission

To be mine

(beat drop back in)

Final Chorus

I get quiet when I win

No more damage, no reruns

You were noise, you were static

I was done before you spun

I don’t miss you, I don’t flinch

I don’t need to say I’m done

I get quiet when I win

Yeah… I already won

Outro

Silence looks good on me

Doesn’t it?
