Words I Say

[Verse 1]
A softly spoken self-belief denies
Your indulgent want for every prize
Waiting on the wave of validation
If judgment feels just how I think it does
At least I know that I've already won
I've already won

[Pre-Chorus]
Some things best kept sacred for no one else
Forgive me for saving it for myself

[Chorus]
Will I ever act on the words I say?
Will I ever wake up to see that day?
There's a part of me that don't want the change
But how am I gonna stay high
If I'm a bird that don't wanna fly?

[Post-Chorus]
Some things best kept sacred for no one else

[Verse 2]
I'm going up against the paradigm
The strangest consequence of keeping quiet
Is having everybody think I'm lonesome
How do I reduce it to its core?
It's not my job to keep them wanting more
Heavy is the pressure of it all

[Chorus]
Will I ever act on the words I say?
Will I ever wake up to see that day?
There's a part of me that don't want the change
But how am I gonna stay high
If I'm a bird that don't wanna fly?
Will I ever act on the words I say?
Will I ever wake up to see that day?
There's a part of me that don't want to change
But how am I gonna stay high
If I'm a bird that don't wanna fly?
