Accidentally Happy

I've been hesitant to sing, scared what will come out
I'm told that I'm too kind and I've been told that I'm too loud
My mom taught me to be modest, it's valued over here
But if I'm being honest, it got me nowhere, nowhere

I feel too big for my bones, too bulky for my skin
If you got nothing good to say then you better hold it in
We raise generations afraid of their own truth
And the ones who call you out, we label them as rude
"silly youth"

My jokes seem inappropriate, cutlery never made sense
I'm here to taste life, to feel it, so I rather eat with my hand
And when I let go of the questions that tried to capture who I'd be
I found myself happy, accidentally

So it really got me thinking, from all I want to say
The most important thing might be that I don't obey
The rules I put upon myself, I dare to disagree
It's not always what you have to say, but to allow yourself to speak

So while I fill the silence
Allow me to disagree
It's not always what you have to say
But to allow yourself to speak
