“unspoken words” is the first track on mxmtoon’s debut album, the masquerade. On episode 3 of her Spotify-produced podcast, 21 Days with mxmtoon, Maia says that her song is about her grandmother. The song is about saying that you love and care for someone, whether that be quietly, unspoken, or vocal...
[Verse 1]
It wasn't always easy
Growing up we had our fights
Though we wouldn’t say it
We wanted to play nice
I can safely say we're friends
And that I love you too
But years ago that wouldn't happen
Because I didn’t get you
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, it's complicated
And I need to say it
'Cause time is fading away
I should've said it sooner
Who knows what's in the future
But now I need you to know
[Chorus]
That I love you
You know it's true
You don't need to say it back to me
Because I know you do
And I get it now
You weren't allowed
The same life
That you’ve so gracefully endowed
Oh-oh, oh-oh
[Verse 2]
I’m happy with it all now
We both had to grow and learn
To understand each other
And with patience we took turns
I'm sorry for my anger
I was just too young to know
The cause of your exterior
And just what you wouldn’t show
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, it's complicated
And I need to say it
'Cause time is fading away
I should've said it sooner
Who knows what’s in the future
But now I need you to know
[Chorus]
That I love you
You know it's true
You don't need to say it back to me
Because I know you do
And I get it now
You weren't allowed
The same life
That you've so gracefully endowed
[Bridge]
Oh, I love you
You love me too
Unspoken words are preferred
But it's the truth
I'll shift the tide
Leave windows wide
We are the start, our change of heart
Will be our guide
[Chorus]
Oh, I love you
You know it's true
You don't need to say it back to me
Because I know you do
[Outro]
I do
I know you do

this music video means a lot to me, as i was really able to dive into my experience growing up as chinese-american! it’s rare and wonderful when you’re able to share pieces of your world, and working on this video was both challenging in trying to express a personal story in a fun way but to keep it...
