Speak Out (Acoustic)

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 feelin'

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
