lyrics

when you told me what had happened
i felt guilty for how bad i felt,
but i kept my composure

i typed out that awful message:
“oh my god what can i do to help?”
but then i thought it over, and you know

it’s not my place, it’s not my place,
i can’t say shit to fill the space,
and you know me, i only shut up when i have to

it’s not my place, it’s not my place,
but it still keeps me awake
just knowing that, some things collapse, before they’re meant to

you’ve built up your stoicism,
so tall that nobody dares to climb
and i hope it’s enough for you

but if the stiffness of your upper
lip falls into jeopardy i hope
you know that there’s a lot of love for you out there




all i ever heard was just an echo of
a life i never knew,
but that part doesn’t matter

and as we sat there in that holy room
his echo grew to be so loud,
it could have made the windows shatter but you know

it’s not my place, it’s not my place
i can’t say shit, but i will stay
and you know me, i can be stubborn if i need to

it’s not my place, it’s not my place
i never even met his gaze
and we all only get one set of eyes to see through
