It's quiet now
The wedding vows are said
and all that's left is picking up
the pieces of your life.
You can't make her love you
You can't make her live her vows
You can't make the beauty happen
that you thought this step would bring
And all you have is that
It's quiet now.
It's quiet now
The funeral is over
and all that's left is picking up
the pieces of your life.
You can't fight death
You can't bring back your son
You can't make yourself a father
like you thought this step would do
And all you have is that
It's quiet now.
It's quiet now
Her boyfriend has gone home
and all that's left is picking up
the pieces of your life.
You can't make her leave him
You can't make her face that resent death
You can't make her love you
no matter what you do
And all you have is that
It's quiet now.
It's quiet now
Your faith is left in shatters
and all that's left is picking up
the pieces of your life.
You can't make God help you
You can't deny He's real
You can't make yourself love Him
with all that you've been through
And all you have is that
It's quiet now.
