Nerves

[Verse 1]
The feelings may not form sentences
Emotions have a way of feeling paper thin
The words always escape the cage they're in
It might take some time

But the tell is in the rosebud blood vessels
Cheeks cannot stay silent, nor can throats forever
Holding back my tongue won't resolve the pressure
It's gotta get some time

[Pre-Chorus]
And I've been tryna break the silence for a minute now
I feel like I'm surrounded by the moment
And the consequence of holding it in, holding it in
Holding it, holding everything in
I'm gonna break some time

[Chorus]
So let me speak my mind
At least let me try
Yeah, let me speak my mind
I've let you do the same about a million times
My nerves are wearing down to the thinnest wire
You only hear me out when I'm preaching to the choir

[Verse 2]
The current in my body is a hurricane
Storming over tributaries of my veins
We only ever talk drunk and stumbling
Inhale, maybe we'll be equal
Exhale, maybe I'll believe you

[Chorus]
Let me speak my mind, yeah
At least let me try
Oh, let me speak my mind, baby
I've let you do the same about a million times
My nerves are wearing down to the thinnest wire
You only hear me out when I'm preaching to the choir

[Interlude]

[Bridge]
I'm barely holding my stress in
Darling, I got a confession
We only ever connect by cutting through the friction
You never return the favours
It's coming clear to me lately
All that I gave you is grace to pacify the fiction

And I've been tryna break the silence for a minute now
I feel like I'm surrounded by the moment
And the consequence of holding it in, holding it in
Holding everything in

[Chorus]
Let me speak my mind, yeah
At least let me try
Hey, let me speak my mind
I've let you do the same about a million times
My nerves are wearing down to the thinnest wire
You only hear me out when I'm preaching to the choir
Yeah, when I'm preaching, baby
