[Verse 1] Before we go further you should know I stay quiet long before I should go I learned it in years when peace meant silence smiling through disrespect to avoid violence I’ve had lovers turn strangers friends switch sides people write the story without knowing mine So when you come in like you’ve got something to prove don’t be surprised I’m not in the mood [Chorus] You don’t know what I’m carrying you came at the wrong time you think it’s about you but the story is mine I’ve been holding anger letting too much go you didn’t start the fire you just watched it glow [Verse 2] I usually move on that’s how I get by let people be wrong even when I know but pressure builds behind a wall and one small push can break it all I see what you’re doing it’s in your face pushing just to watch me break so you can call me the problem [Chorus] You don’t know what I’m carrying you came at the wrong time you think it’s about you but the story is mine I’ve been holding anger letting too much go you didn’t start the fire you just watched it glow my eyes everything I didn’t say coming back tonight I warned you you kept pushing now you’re surprised [Breakdown] crossed your line? you never saw mine I just want you to know I’m tired of letting go [Final Chorus] You don’t know what I’m carrying you came at the wrong time you think it’s about you but the story is mine I’ve been holding anger but letting too much go you didn’t start the fire you just watched it glow You don’t know what I’m carrying you came at the wrong time you think it’s about you but the story is mine I’ve been holding anger but letting too much go you didn’t start the fire you just watched it glow [Outro] I could scream (hmmh hmmh hummhh hmhh) But I want to fly (hmmh hmmh hummhh hmhh) I could cry (hmmh hmmh hummhh hmhh)
