couldn't speak

Would you look at me now? Everyday, every time, you got me thinking about All the ways that you've wasted all my love And without even knowing if you'd hurt me bad You go running around You fake tears, act like I'm the bad one And now, you got stain on my name I could never get out When you told them that I was mad You know that I couldn't go outside 'Cause people have been throwing rocks At anything or anyone that shines When I said, "Let's separate", you said, "It's fine" Now, they hate me without knowing All of the sides, oh, all of the sides But there's no way to turn back time And make them believe Oh, how you held me down that night And I couldn't breathe If only I could take it out Oh, the pain that's in me It would've been an easy way And I wouldn't have to walk away if I could just speak Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm (if I could just speak) Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm Don't wanna see you go down Even though you spent years using pity around I should've saved myself but I didn't know how 'Cause I was desperate to just vanish fast You know that I couldn't count All the times they stared like I'm a criminal found Had to beat myself 'cause I'm the one who allowed you To break me just as bad But we both know I couldn't go outside 'Cause people have been throwing rocks At anything or anyone that's mine When I said, "Let's separate", you said, "It's fine" Now, they hate me without knowing All of the sides, oh, all of the sides But there's no way to turn back time And make them believe Oh, how you held me down that night And I couldn't breathe If only I could take it out Oh, the pain that's in me It would've been an easy way And I wouldn't have to walk away if I could just speak Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, if I could just speak Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm (if I could just) (If I could just, if I could just, if I could just, if I could just speak) Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm But we both know I couldn't go outside 'Cause people have been throwing rocks At anything or anyone that's mine When I said, "Let's separate", you said, "It's fine" Now, they hate me without knowing All of the sides, oh, all of the sides
