Brakes

[Verse 1]
I can test my patience
When you let your quirks shine through
I could get angry or frustrated
But I've got your back and you’ve got mine too

[Verse 2]
I can raise my voice sometimes
But only when I drain my cup
I'll never show you if I feel my temperament
Starts urging me to tighten up

[Chorus]
Every time I stay quiet
I'm called shy although I
Like to hear other minds
’Cause I've spent years
Hearing mine

[Verse 3]
If I'm ever disengaged
Please don't ever hesitate
To ask me if I feel okay
Instead of thinking I don't care what you have to say

[Verse 4]
Never hesitate
To let me in your mental space
But only if you care to share
'Cause I don't want to overstep my boundaries

[Chorus]
Every time I stay quiet
I'm called shy although I
Like to hear other minds
’Cause I’ve spent years
Hearing mine
