I Should Just Shut Up

Walking
Down the street, I'm all alone
Debating
If I should pick up the phone
Afraid to be in somebody's way
Afraid to ruin somebody's day

I don't like the sound of my voice
I don't like my silhouette
You should talk about yourself more
Whenever I do it ends in regret

Come out drinking
That makes it worse
Stop overthinking
That never works

I've said too much
I shouldn't open up
I'm not ungrateful
I should just shut up

I should just shut up

Days go by I watch the shadows move
If they could touch would they feel the dark too
(Would they feel it too?)

Time is callous, who's to blame
Paired with the sun, it's all a sick game

Haven't made friends in a couple weeks
Too much out there for them to critique

Watered my plant but it's a lost cause
I'm hanging by a thread

Walking
Down the street, I'm all alone
Debating
If I should pick up the phone
Afraid to be in somebody's way
Afraid to ruin somebody's day

I don't like the sound of my voice
I don't like my silhouette
You should talk about yourself more
Whenever I do it ends in regret

Come out drinking
That makes it worse
Stop overthinking
That never works

I've said too much
I shouldn't open up
I'm not ungrateful
I should just shut up

I should just shut up

Paralyzed by all the light
But from the dark I'm doing all right
Guess I'm doing alright

Captive to broken thoughts
Tried to clean up but the pieces got lost

Used a towel to cover the mirror
Ditch a reflection to see a bit clearer

It's hanging by a thread

I don't like my silhouette
You should talk about yourself more
It always ends in regret

Come out drinking
That's making it worse
Stop overthinking
That never works

I've said too much
I shouldn't open up
I'm not ungrateful
I should just shut up

I should just shut up
