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
