Holding Back My Tongue
My words are sharp
Like some diamonds
Too much pressure and they'll cut into your lining
I swear it will hurt
With every single word
See I was cursed
With defiance
Too much pressure and I'll maul you like a lion
With every single word
I swear it will hurt
And my words don't sound like they should
So soft then they slowly turn to wood
I look down to only remember
I got splinters on every single finger from—
Holding back my tongue
From saying what I want
And I promised I would stop and think it through
But I'm a flake, you really should've knew
I'm stuck holding back my tongue
From saying what I want
And I promised I would stop and think it through
But I'm a flake, you really should've knew
I don't care
If I hurt you
I got a shell that nobody can break through
And you can try your best
You won't get any rest
And I'm sorry
If I hurt you
Sometimes these words just seem to get through
And I do try my best
I don't get any rest
And my words don't sound like they should
So soft then they slowly turn to wood
I look down to only remember
I got splinters on every single finger from—
Holding back my tongue
From saying what I want
And I promised I would stop and think it through
But I'm a flake, you really should've knew
I'm stuck holding back my tongue
From saying what I want
And I promised I would stop and think it through
But I'm a flake, you really should've knew
The things I think kinda make me scared
The things I think, yeah, you best beware
The things I think kinda make me scared
The things I think-I-think-I'm—
Holding back my tongue
From saying what I want
And I promised I would stop and think it through
But I'm a flake, you really should've knew
I'm stuck holding back my tongue
From saying what I want, ah-ah
And I promised I would stop and think it through
But I'm a flake, you really should've knew
Holding back my—
