lyrics

I swallow my silence when I've left thoughts undisclosed
I try to escape my fear but get caught in my throat
I'm sorry I didn't say what you needed to hear
When I know someone's listening, it's hard to be sincere

Pre Chorus:
I spend a lot of time talking to myself
Saying things that'll never be heard by anyone else
I'm kicking myself, full of regret
When I think of all the times I should've said

Chorus:
What's wrong?
No, you're not
Me too
I miss you
I'm not okay
Hey, I need to tell you something

Unspoken condolences I uttered silently
Narrating my memories with what I actually mean
I've erased so many words now branded in my skull
Haunted by my failed attempts to be invulnerable

Repeat Pre Chorus

Repeat Chorus

All I wanted was to turn around and tell you
But I just turned and walked away like I always do
I anxiously waited for the chance to pass me by
So my rapid breathing turned to a well-worn sigh
I'm not allowed to tell the truth
Just shut my mouth, oh what she the use
Of all the things inside my head fighting to be understood

I should've said, I should've said

Repeat Chorus
