lyrics

I never had a loud voice, they used to
Say I sounded like a baby bird
And when I spoke up you could
Barely even hear the words
So I would choke instead
I never meant to keep a secret
But my silence was convenient
Now I’m feeling mad

Because I’m learning to get louder
As I’m growing older
And I lived through every time
I wished my life was over
Now I want to live in peace but if I
Never get to talk about the curse
It’s always gonna hurt

Chorus:
Hush little baby
Why don’t you make me
I’m about to shout the words
That nobody’s been saying
Hush little girl, don’t say a word
Well I’m about to tell the stories
Nobody has heard

And I won’t keep it to myself
I won’t keep it to myself
I feel the secrets on my tongue
And now they’re spilling out my
mouth
Spilling out my mouth
I won't keep it to myself

It’s in my blood, I was taught to be
ashamed of who I come from
Because we're losers, we are always
the unlucky ones
We never talk about what made us
hate us so we never
Break the bonds that suffocate us

Tell me 'bout the curse
The reason why it only rains
When we show up
The reason why my flowers die
And my bands break up
The reason why I won’t be happy
When I’m all grown up

And everybody hates us, talks behind
Our backs, humiliates us, make it
stop I just can’t take this!

Chorus

You didn’t mean to pass it down a
generation, it’s the truth that stops
our pessimist imaginations
You are all his broken pieces and
We are all your broken pieces and
The truth is gonna liberate us

So don’t keep it to yourself
Don’t keep it to yourself
You feel the secrets on your tongue
And now they’re spilling out your
mouth
Spilling out your mouth
I won't keep it to myself
