Stop putting words in my mouth
They taste better when they're coming out
Still I can't help but choke them down when you're around
But I can't seem to keep it down
Don't let it go to your head
I'm not here for my health, if I was, then I'd be dead
Instead I'm testing my patience waiting around
For you to be gracious
I'll never let go, don't be afraid
I'm on the front lines to fight for you
Stop putting words in my mouth
They taste better when they're coming out
Still I can't help but choke them down when you're around
But I can't seem to keep it down
The last time I said goodbye
I thought my good years were washed up, hung out to dry
With the mindset that everything was fine
But they don't realize that it was right in front of my eyes
So don't be afraid
I'm on the front lines to fight for you
Stop putting words in my mouth
They taste better when they're coming out
Still I can't help but choke them down when you're around
But I can't seem to keep it down
I can't seem to keep it down
Every day I'm smashed and ripped and torn to bits
That never fit the mold
But I recognize the way that I was never really whole
So don't be afraid
I'm on the front lines to fight for you
Stop putting words in my mouth
They taste better when they're coming out
Still I can't help but choke them down when you're around
But I can't seem to keep it down
