Say Something


Words escape my mouth
Too many times it goes south
I can't seem to keep words in my head
They slip out into something I said
 
Whoa Oh Uh Oh Oh
 
It doesn't seem likely 
I'm not in the right psyche
I'm in trouble now
My words hurt...ow
 
Whoa Oh Uh Oh Oh
 
I can't breathe
Holding my breath
I believe 
It's my death
 
If I can't say
What I need to say
To you 
And you and you
 
Whoa Oh Uh Oh Oh
 
It may seem like I'm arrogant
I'm not too eloquent 
But I'm free to say
What I need to say
 
Love me the way I am
Words aren't in a traffic jam
They flow freely
It's ideally
 
The way I like to roll
Sentence structures that bestow
My own opinion
Enter my dominion
 
So before you know the real me
Ask yourself are you free
To say what you want to say
In night and day
