Lyrics
Started out small, just lettin' things slide
Said I was tired, said another night
Didn't call back, didn't say what I knew
Figured silence was safer than tellin' the truth
I told myself it ain't hurtin' nobody
Just keepin' the peace, just dodgin' a fight
But the line in the sand kept movin' on me
'Til I couldn't tell wrong from right
Quiet sin, yeah, it ain't that loud
Never breaks the rules, never draws a crowd
Quiet sin, just a slow give in
Funny how the things I excuse are the things I'm livin' in
Quiet sin, yeah, it ain't that loud
Never breaks the rules, never draws a crowd
Quiet sin, just a slow give in
What I let slide for peace starts soundin' like truth within
Let a little pride ride shotgun
Called it confidence, called it drive (Called it drive)
Held on to words I shoulda swallowed
Said that's just how I'm wired inside (Wired inside)
Put off the good I knew I should do (I should do)
Said tomorrow come around (Come around)
Let forgiveness wait on an apology
That never got wrote down
Quiet sin, yeah, it ain't that loud
Never breaks the rules, never draws a crowd
Quiet sin, just a slow give in
Funny how the things I excuse are the things I'm livin' in
Quiet sin, yeah, it ain't that loud
Never breaks the rules, never draws a crowd
Quiet sin, just a slow give in
What I let slide for peace starts soundin' like truth within
Wasn't one big moment
Wasn't one wrong turn
Just a thousand little compromises
I didn't feel 'til they burned
I kept sayin', "God knows my heart"
Like that settled the score
But knowin' better don't mean nothin'
If I keep closin' the door
Quiet sin, yeah, it ain't that loud
Never breaks the rules, never draws a crowd
Quiet sin, just a slow give in
Funny how the things I excuse are the things I'm livin' in
Quiet sin, yeah, it ain't that loud
Never breaks the rules, never draws a crowd
Quiet sin, just a slow give in
What I hide in the dark starts wearin' my skin
And the fall scares me now
It's the ground I've learned to stand on
