[Verse 1] I’ve been editing my words Trying not to make it worse Cutting pieces off the truth Just to keep the peace with you Let it slide, let it pass Tell myself it’s not that bad But it builds up in my chest Every time I second guess ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] I’m tired of the almost Tired of the half Tired of saying nothing Then feeling it back ⸻ [Chorus] Say it or shut it Mean it or don’t Stand in the truth Or stay in the smoke I’m done with the middle Done playing safe If I don’t speak now I stay in the same Say it or shut it ⸻ [Verse 2] I know exactly what I feel I just don’t always make it real I let the moment pass me by Then replay it every night Give you space I never take Hold my tongue until it breaks Then I wonder why it hurts Like I didn’t go first ⸻ 🌉 [Bridge — the shift] What am I protecting? What am I afraid of? Losing you… or losing me? ‘Cause staying quiet isn’t peace It’s just pressure underneath And I feel it every time I choose comfort over truth ⸻ [Final Chorus — stronger, resolved] Say it or shut it There’s no in-between Either I speak Or it speaks through me I’m done with the middle Done playing small If I don’t say it I lose it all Say it or shut it ⸻ [Outro — calm, grounded] So I’ll say it …even if my voice shakes
