Lyrics When It’s Quiet - Brittain Ashford

Sometimes, when it's quiet
I find my way back
To the streets I used to walk as soon as I knew how
Until I was no longer able

I'm sorry that I left
I was just doing what I thought I had to do
And I know I can't go home
I am an orphan at your door
I am an orphan at your door

And I stayed away too long
I didn't realize
It all goes on without me there

So open the windows
Let the air in
Open the windows
And breathe again

Sometimes when I sleep
I have those dreams that you're still here
In the house where you grew up
In that house where we grew up
But the rooms, they are all empty
And the walls they are all bare

I'm sorry that I left
I was just doing what I thought you would have wanted me to do
And I know I can't go home
I am an orphan at your door
I am an orphan at your door

I stayed away too long
I didn't realize
It all goes on without me there

And I'm sorry that I left
I'm sorry that I left
I'm sorry that I left you
I know I can't go home
I know I can't go home
I know I can't go home again
