[Verse 1] Mirror, mirror on the wall Who's the quietest girl of all? Me Been me for years Swallowed words Till they became my spine But tonight the spine snapped I opened my mouth And the room went still I practiced this in the bathroom For six months Every syllable rehearsed Till it wasn't mine They belong to the mirror now And the mirror made them razor blades [Pre-Chorus] Say it, say it, say it You practiced for this Say it, say it, say it The room is yours [Chorus] I said the thing I said the thing I said the thing And it felt like jumping off a roof And finding out I had wings I said it loud In a room full of people Who thought I was the soft one Thought I was the kind one Thought I was the one who'd never And I said it And I said it And the silence after Was the loudest thing I've ever heard [Verse 2] You flinched I saw it Your whole body Moved back two inches Good That's the distance I've been keeping from myself For years These words don't feel like mine They feel like a weapon I borrowed from a woman I used to be Before I learned to swallow Before I learned to smile Before I died a little Every time I chose silence over this [Bridge] You think this is about you You think I'm saying You did something You did But that's not the point The point is I killed the version of me That would've kept quiet She's dead now I buried her in the mirror And these rehearsed Sharp Perfect words Are the only thing she left me And I'm using them Every single one [Chorus] I said the thing I said the thing I said the thing And it felt like jumping off a roof And finding out I had wings I said it loud In a room full of people Who thought I was the soft one Thought I was the kind one Thought I was the one who'd never And I said it And I said it And the silence after Was the loudest thing I've ever heard [Outro] Six months in the mirror And she's finally here Loud Loud Loud
