Words I Say

A softly spoken self-belief denies Your indulgent want for every prize Waiting on the wave of validation If judgment feels just how I think it does At least I know that I've already won I've already won Some things are best kept sacred for no one else Forgive me for saving it for myself Will I ever act on the words I say? Will I ever wake up to see that day? There's a part of me that don't want to change But how am I gonna stay high If I'm a bird that don't want to fly? Some things are best kept sacred for no one else I'm going up against the paradigm The strangest consequence of keeping quiet Is having everybody think I'm lonesome How do I reduce it to its core? It's not my job to keep them wanting more Heavy is the pressure of it all Will I ever act on the words I say? Will I ever wake up to see that day? There's a part of me that don't want to change But how am I gonna stay high If I'm a bird that don't want to fly? Will I ever act on the words I say? Will I ever wake up to see that day? There's a part of me that don't want to change But how am I gonna stay high If I'm a bird that don't want to fly?
