[Intro] (whispered, close, playful) Shut up… yeah… mm, don’t start… --- [Verse 1 ] You keep talking big With your mouth half open Like applause is yours Before it’s even spoken I was being nice Yeah I gave you space Now you fill the air Like you own the place --- [Pre-Chorus ] Save it for somebody else Say it to the wall I’m already halfway gone I don’t need it all --- [Chorus ] Shut up, please (yeah) Shut up, please (don’t) I can hear me breathe Till you cut through everything Shut up, please (uh) Shut up, please (stop) Say my name softer Or don’t say it at all --- [Verse 2 ] You dress it up as truth But it lands like pressure Every little line Gets a little lesser You lean in close Like I owe you time But I cut that thread Now your words don’t bind --- [Pre-Chorus ] Save it for somebody else You can hear it fall Every word you throw at me Doesn’t land at all --- [Chorus ] Shut up, please (shut up!) Shut up, please (yeah yeah) I can hear me breathe Now I’m choosing everything Shut up, please (don’t) Say my name softer Or don’t say it at all --- [BREAK ] …silence… --- [Breakdown ] Talk big now No one’s listening Run your mouth Hear it thinning One more word Say it twice Watch it fall apart mid-sentence, nice --- [Verse 3 ] You love hearing you Yeah I noticed that Say it ten more times Maybe make it slap You perform for air I perform for real You just make it loud I just make it feel --- [Pre-Chorus 2 ] Say it one more time Just to hear it break Every word you throw Starts to lose its shape --- [Bridge 2 ] You don’t hear the weight you bring You just fill the air with it I don’t need to fight your noise I just disappear from it --- [FINAL CHORUS ] Say less, please (I’m good) Now I hear me breathe And I’m not the quiet one No more noise in my head Too loud, too much (gone) Say my name softer, baby Or don’t say it at all [Outro ] (beat cuts) …shut up. (light laugh)
