words i never said

Oh-oh-ohh, oh-oh-ooh, oh

Oh-oh-ooh, oh-oh-ohh, oh

Verse 1

There is a story I never tell

A little room where memories dwell

I keep it hidden underneath my skin

Afraid of what might happen if I let it in

Verse 2

Sometimes it comes in broken light

A thousand pieces in the middle of the night

A face, a sound, a distant scene

Like something real inside a dream

Pre-Chorus

And I have tried a thousand times

To put the pieces into lines

But when the words are almost there

I lose my voice, I lose the air

Chorus

What if they don't believe me?

What if they turn away?

What if I finally tell them

And they say it's all okay?

I have a thousand words inside

But none of them can cross the line

I want somebody to understand

The things I cannot say out loud again

Verse 3

And it was hard to even try

'Cause every time the words would die

In the back of my throat, in the depths of my mind

And every time I'd just tell a lie

Verse 4

But I'm so tired of pretending

And I'm sick of the pretendin'

And I'm done with the silence

And all of this violence

I'm sick, I'm tired

And I'm done

Hook

(Oh-oh-oh, oh-ooh-oh)

(Oh-ooh-oh, oh-oh-oh)

Chorus

What if they don't believe me?

What if they turn away?

What if I finally tell them

And they say it's all okay?

I have a thousand words inside

But none of them can cross the line

I want somebody to understand

The things I cannot say out loud again

Bridge

Tell me, tell me, tell me what to do

I'm so scared, I don't know what's true

Help me, help me

Should I tell or should I stay quiet?

Should I speak or should I keep it all inside?

Tell me, tell me, tell me what to do

I'm so scared, I don't know what's true

Help me, help me

Should I tell or should I stay quiet?

Should I speak or should I keep it all inside?

Hook

(Oh-oh-oh, oh-ooh-oh)

(Oh-ooh-oh, oh-oh-oh)

Chorus

What if they don't believe me?

What if they turn away?

What if I finally tell them

And they say it's all okay?

I have a thousand words inside

But none of them can cross the line

I want somebody to understand

The things I cannot say out loud again

Outro

What if they don't believe me?

What if they turn away?

I want somebody to understand

The things I cannot say out loud again
