Break The Silence

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I walked in late again Held my keys too tight Said "you too" to a waiter When she asked me, "How's your night?" My mouth moved faster than my mind Spilled my name like a drink I smiled at the wrong moment Now I'm watching everybody blink [Pre-Chorus] But I know that look I know that freeze My heart says run My face says please So if I trip on every word I'll still be here I'll still be heard [Chorus] I break the silence I break the silence Even when my hands shake Even when my voice breaks I break the silence I break the silence I might look strange tonight But I am still alive [Verse 2] I rehearse hello in the mirror Then forget it at the door Laugh too loud at nothing Then I hate myself more I stand by the chips and soda Like a ghost in a room But the joke's on the panic I'm a spark about to bloom [Pre-Chorus] Yeah, I know that look I know that sting The room gets big When I overthink But if my words come out all crooked I'll still be here I'll still be good [Chorus] I break the silence I break the silence Even when my hands shake Even when my voice breaks I break the silence I break the silence I might look strange tonight But I am still alive [Bridge] I used to call it broken I used to call it bad Now I call it proof That I feel this damn hard If I go red, let me go red If I stutter, let me stay I'm not made to fit your script I'm here in my own way [Final Chorus] I break the silence I break the silence Even when my hands shake Even when my voice breaks I break the silence I break the silence I might look strange tonight But I am still alive
