Behold the incredible shrinking woman, wow She looked like me but she shrank her spirit down To make room for the thoughts you filled with doubt And when you were finally gone, I couldn't drown 'em out Your constant voice Echoed in my head and told me why I should be someone else instead And every night I cried Listening to your lies inside my mind Went blind, but now I see And sex is good but have you ever tried Ahhh, the silence Ahhh, some peace and quiet Ahhh, the silence Ahhh, some peace and quiet Behold the marvelous absence of your face That once held me as a hostage for my mistakes Forgot the feel of a quiet love's embrace There's no beauty like the beauty of empty space Your constant voice Echoed in my head and told me why I should be someone else instead And every night I cried Listening to your lies inside my mind Went blind, but now I see And sex is good but have you ever tried Ahhh, the silence Ahhh, some peace and quiet Ahhh, the silence Ahhh, some peace and quiet Shh, quiet Shh, quiet Shh, quiet Shh, quiet Shh, quiet Shh, quiet Now I can be Ahh, louder Ahh, louder Ahh, louder Ahh, louder Ahh, louder Louder Ahhh, some peace and quiet Ahhh, the silence Ahhh, some peace and quiet Ahhh, the silence Ahhhh Some fucking silence
