Don’t Speak

[Intro]
I'm terrified, and I know you never gave me reason
But it’ll ease my mind, if I can’t give you a reason for leaving
I've learned to shut my mouth, keep it to myself
'Cause if I said out loud, how I truly felt
I have a feeling that you would go, so I—

[Chorus]
Don’t speak, don’t speak, don’t speak
I told myself if I let you in you’ll leave
So don’t speak, don’t speak
But everything I said I fucking mean
Took a while to get me here
But fuck it, we made it here
Haven’t said it out loud, but only 'cause I'm a nervous wreck
I know I haven’t said it yet, but I fucking love you
The words that I can get out, just don’t seem to amount to how I feel

[Verse 1]
I don’t understand how you’re in my head
You got me wrapped around your finger
Every word I said I swear that I meant
Can you just please do me a favor?
Try your best to stay away
And I'll try harder to stay in place
Keep away, don't be afraid
And I'll try harder to look away (I wish I had teeth)

[Chorus]
Don’t speak, don’t speak, don’t speak
I told myself if I let you in you’ll leave
So don’t speak, don’t speak
But everything I said I fucking mean
Took a while to get me here
But fuck it, we made it here
Haven’t said it out loud, but only 'cause I'm a nervous wreck
I know I haven’t said it yet, but I fucking love you
The words that I can get out, just don’t seem to amount to how I feel

[Outro]
Oh, there they are, I found my teeth
