Would you promise To hear what I say Or maybe I'm crazy You probably won't hear me Im better off quiet I'm better off lying I know you say I overthink It's simpler if I let it be Sometimes I feel I need to shrink What did you do? If there's a space between the lines Of gentle truth and words like knives It's hard for me to stay inside What did I do? Can I be honest Just for one day? Would you promise To hear what I say Or maybe I'm crazy You probably won't hear me Im better off quiet I'm better off
