[Verse 1]
Always got a lot to say
But leave it in the back of my mind
I'm gonna hit the stage
Could you turn down the spotlight?
Something just doesn't feel right
Always been a little shy
In trying to get my point across
I'm a lay down and cry
I guess I'm not a girlboss
Maybe I like being soft
[Verse 2]
(One, two, three, four) yeah
So I'm doing it my way
Moving behind the scenes
Just keeping it light, babe

Caught in a bad dream
(I can't get out of it)
And the truth of me is hidden in the things I don't say
In the things that I will take to the grave
The grave
[Chorus 2]
The truth of me is hidden in the things I don't say
In the things that I will take to the grave
The grave, the grave
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Bridge]
I wanna be everything
Both the best and the worst
Wanna be unbreakable
But still someone you could hurt
So, baby, treat me like dirt
[Outro]
'Cause the truth of me is hidden in the things I don't say
In the things that I will take to the grave
The grave, the grave
Yeah, yeah, yeah
