I just bite my tongue
Pretend not to hear
trying to imagine
a place away from here
It's only getting worse
And my silence doesn't help
I'm saving relationships
But betraying myself
It's easy to minimize
the struggles people face
When they're absent from your life
Why can't you just take the hint?
My silence isn't approval, it's disappointment
Day after day
It's all the same
Nothing will ever change
Your mind's made up
I'm out of luck
Why can't I just speak up?
Each passing minute
My conscience wanes
I think I'm losing my mind
My silence hurts
the ones I love
I can't just sit back and
keep my mouth shut
I can't look
at my own reflection
Cause it's got me shook
The person that I see
Isn't who I used to be
turning my back on
those who need me
Staying silent
Muted voice
Toxic mind
you made your choice
Speak your mind
It makes no sense
Clench my fists
With bated breath
