Hush now Don’t rush it I like it better when it’s quiet You talk fast when you’re nervous I hear it in your breath Every word you rush past Feels heavier than the rest I don’t need you louder I don’t need you brave If you really mean it You can take your time to say it Your mouth says nothing But your eyes say more You’re shaking like you already know Say it slower I wanna feel it land If it’s a lie, don’t hurry I’ll understand Say it slower Let it slip, let it bend If you’re gonna break it Break it where I can hear it You look down when you promise Like you’re counting the floor I’m not asking for honesty I just want it performed I smile when you hesitate That’s my favorite part Right before you decide If you’re gonna be smart You don’t scare me You never did You’re just loud when you’re trying to live Say it slower Drag it through your teeth If you’re gonna say forever Don’t rush it to me Say it slower I’ve got time to pretend If you’re gonna disappear Do it gently in the end Shhh… That’s better I can hear you now
