Everything I Have To Say

Title inspired by a song here on ATL, by Makayla


You sit there absent-mindedly, with your back turned
I try to reach out my hand but I can’t move
I guess this is a lesson I haven’t learned (yet)

How could I raise my voice when I can’t even breathe?
And there’s nothing words can prove
I wish I could just get up and leave

-Chorus-
But I can’t! Because everything I have to say
Is waiting deep inside my lungs
(Look at me!) When the silence screams it all away
I’ve waited too long
(Look at me!) I know I’ll find the courage to speak up
(Today)
And I wonder what is standing in the way
Of everything I have to say

I wish that you could read my mind, just like before
Why won’t you finish my sentence this time too?
I guess we don’t know each other anymore

I try to look away before I start to cry
But the tears won’t fall for you
I wish I found the courage to try

-Chorus-
But I can’t! Because everything I have to say
Is waiting deep inside my lungs
(Look at me!) When the silence screams it all away
I’ve waited too long
(Look at me!) I know I’ll find the courage to speak up
(Today)
And I wonder what is standing in the way
Of everything I have to say

-Bridge-
Why can’t I say something?
I remember….talking to you
It was easy as breathing
But now I’ve gone away from the truth
And I wish I could come back
Yeah..

-Chorus-
But I can’t! Because everything I have to say
Is waiting deep inside my lungs
(Look at me!) When the silence screams it all away
I’ve waited too long
(Look at me!) I know I’ll find the courage to speak up
(Today)
And I wonder what is standing in the way
Of everything I have to say

-Chorus-
Take my hand! Because everything I have to say
Is two words that you’ve heard back then
(Look at me!) When the silence screams it all away
It’s too hard to explain
(Just look at me!) I have to find the courage to speak up
(Today)
Because this can’t be standing in the way
Of everything I have to say
