With my whole damn chest!

[Intro] Yeah… Nah, this ain’t anger anymore This is just honesty And if that makes people uncomfortable So be it ⸻ [Verse 1] Spent too much time biting my tongue Trying to keep the peace for everyone Trying not to sound too harsh Trying not to make waves Trying to be understood without saying what I really meant But pressure turns silence into poison And I got tired of swallowing it See, people say they want honesty Until honesty points at something real Then suddenly you’re “too blunt” Or “too intense” Or “hard to deal with” Nah I’m just done pretending ⸻ [Hook] So now when I say something I say it with my whole damn chest No half-truths No backing down from it No trying to soften every word so everybody else feels safe If I mean it I say it Simple as that And if people don’t like it That’s fine But at least they know where I stand ⸻ [Verse 2] I used to rehearse conversations in my head Trying to find the version that offended nobody But somehow every version still left me frustrated Cause I wasn’t speaking honestly I was negotiating my own thoughts Editing myself in real time Just to avoid reactions That gets exhausting after a while And the older I get The more I realize Most people already say exactly what they feel Just behind closed doors Or behind somebody’s back I’d rather say it directly Look somebody in the eyes And stand on it ⸻ [Hook] So now when I say something I say it with my whole damn chest No hidden meanings No passive-aggressive games No pretending I’m okay with things I’m not okay with If the truth creates distance Then maybe the distance was already there I’m just finally saying it out loud ⸻ [Bridge] I’m not trying to be cruel I’m not trying to start wars I just can’t keep carrying thoughts I don’t believe in anymore And honestly It feels lighter this way ⸻ [Final Hook] So now when I speak I speak clearly I speak honestly And I speak with my whole damn chest Not because I hate people Not because I want conflict But because I spent too much of my life Trying to make myself smaller for everybody else And I’m not doing that anymore ⸻ [Outro] If you ask me what I think I’ll tell you And if I love you You’ll know that too No more hiding behind silence Whole damn chest
