I call my dad, but never talk Can't ever say quite what I want No, it's never enough, never enough When the words just don't add up So I call my dad, and never talk I'm so sick of my past breakin' me like glass Shackled by my emotion I keep sayin' I'll change, keep stayin' the same Can't seem to let it go, so Speak up, speak out I'm screamin' out but I don't make a sound, no Gotta get up, go now Don't wait for the moment just to keep missin' out, yeah All my excuses, I overuse them every time I open my mouth For all the times I never knew how To speak up, I, I'll speak out My walls, they know the worst of it Sometimes we gotta knock 'em down I wish they could say the things I can't admit Just gotta let it out Tongue-tied, kept my lips shut, forget it, so what? Now I gotta face the feeling I keep sayin' I'll change, keep stayin' the same Can't seem to let it go, so Speak up, speak out I'm screamin' out, but I don't make a sound, no Gotta get up, go now Don't wait for the moment just to keep missin' out, yeah All my excuses, I overuse them every time I open my mouth For all the times I never knew how To speak up, I, I'll speak out Don't wanna walk away from this Don't wanna be a sinkin' ship The anchor on my tongue won't let me swim Don't wanna waste a moment more Don't know what I've been waitin' for I'll never get a chance like this again So speak up, speak out I'm screamin' out, but I don't make a sound Gotta get up, go now Don't wait for the moment just to keep missin' out, yeah All my excuses, I overuse them every time I open my mouth For all the times I never knew how Speak up, I'll speak out
