Speak Up

It's clear you're afraid of words You abstain yourself from speaking Can't take the weight of words So you'll be crushed right underneath then Cuz they'll cut you deep Without spilling blood Leaving it to boil instead What you need is a thicker skin And to get it through your thick, thick head to Speak up What's the use of keeping it inside Speak up You can bottle up your feelings But you sure can't hide, no (You sure can't hide, no) It's clear you have an opinion And think it best not to share it I'll tell you right now If that were the case You wouldn't form one in the first place No don't kid yourself If you wanna be small Why stop there Why bother being anything at all See you been lying to me You been lying to you Well I hope you made your bed cuz you can Lie in that, too Now speak up As if you don't have a choice Speak up Why else would you have a voice Speak up Let it all come flowing out your mouth Speak up No use for it inside so just let it out Don't fight it, baby Uh Now speak up The tighter you keep your lip The more you wanna say (Speak up) Now life's too short for secrets Go ahead and say it anyway (Speak up) Speak up now (Mmm, speak up) Speak up, speak up now Speak up, speak up, speak up
