Never Tried

Loud mouth empty hands

That wont work he said at lunch

Hadnt read a single page not a hunch

Arms folded leaning back

Expert at the things hell never track

Trust me Ive seen it all before

Seen it where from the break room floor

Opinions stacked like paper cups

Empty inside but they never shut up

Big talk from a small chair

Advice from someone who was never there

Never tried but always knows

Pointing fingers striking pose

Mouth keeps running feet stay still

Loudest voice with the weakest will

Pitched my idea room went quiet

He said risky before hed buy it

Three months later someone else tried

Same concept now hes on their side

I always knew that one would hit

Funny how the mouth just flips

Conference call he takes the floor

Talking long but saying even more of nothing

Critics built their throne on doubt

Louder in than they are out

Never tried but always talks

Drawing maps but never walks

I stopped listening to the noise

Now my silence is my choice

Was I wrong to dream that loud

Or did their doubt just make me proud

Hands still shake before I pitch

But at least my hands have touched the switch

Mm mm touched the switch

Oh built it stitch by stitch

Loud mouth empty hands
