Brittle little smile
Pretty petrol eyes
We keep our shadows locked up here inside

Try not to offend
Or to disappoint them
Write them letters you will never send

[Chorus]
Oh, they stay in shadows
All the heart breakers
Oh, they stay in shadows
All the trouble makers

[Refrain]
It’s always the quiet ones
It’s always the quiet ones

[Verse 2]
Don’t show that you’re hurt
You won’t be the first
To hide the bruises thеre under your shirt

Oh, and your secrеt’s safe with me
So admit your complicity
And write them words that they will never read

[Chorus]
Oh, they stay in shadows
All the heart breakers
Oh, they stay in shadows
All the trouble makers

[Refrain]
It’s always the quiet ones
It’s always the quiet ones

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
They stay in shadows
All the heart breakers
Oh, they stay in shadows
All the trouble makers

[Chorus]
Oh, they stay in shadows
All the heart breakers
Oh, they stay in shadows
All the trouble makers

[Refrain]
It’s always the quiet ones
It’s always the quiet ones
