[Verse 1] I bit my tongue ’til it tasted like rust Played nice Smiled tight Said “do what you must” All these “I’m fine” texts Left on read in my chest Every quiet little “okay” Was me giving you the best [Pre-Chorus] But your words cracked the glass And the cracks ran fast Now the filter’s gone Yeah It’s gone It’s gone [Chorus] I’m screaming at the top of my lungs ’Cause I’m done being quiet Done playing dumb Every “sorry” that I swallowed It burns So I’m letting every broken echo return I’m screaming at the top of my lungs (hey!) If it shakes what we had Then it was never enough If this is how I finally come undone I’m screaming at the top of my lungs [Verse 2] You said “calm down” As you turned up the blame You lit the match Then you walked from the flame You love my soft side ’til it called you out You hate the mirror When I say it out loud [Pre-Chorus] All your “maybe someday” Kept me halfway there Now my hands both shake But the air feels clear [Chorus] I’m screaming at the top of my lungs ’Cause I’m done being quiet Done playing dumb Every “sorry” that I swallowed It burns So I’m letting every broken echo return I’m screaming at the top of my lungs (oh yeah) If it shakes what we had Then it was never enough If this is how I finally come undone I’m screaming at the top of my lungs [Bridge] This is not me begging you to stay This is me walking away With the volume all the way up All the way up (all the way up) [Chorus] I’m screaming at the top of my lungs For the kid in the corner who kept holding his tongue For the version of me that you taught to be small I’m done with the shrinking I’m taking it all I’m screaming at the top of my lungs (hey!) If it rattles these walls Then I’ve already won Yeah This is how I finally come undone I’m screaming at the top of my lungs
