[Verse 1]
I asked one small thing
At the dinner table
Your eyes went cold
Like I broke the glass
You talked over me
Like I planned a crime
I just wanted truth
Not a battle line
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I’m standing there
With my hands half-raised
Trying to explain
What I never said
You turned my face
Into your worst fear
And I don’t know how
To make it clear
[Chorus]
Too loud a question
Too loud a question
You made it sound like I was gone
Too loud a question
Too loud a question
I was hurting, not being strong
(Too loud a question)
[Verse 2]
You said I was harsh
I said I was tired
You heard an attack
In the word “why”
Now the whole room leans
Like I’m on trial
For a simple ask
And a shaking smile
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep reaching back
For the version of you
Who could hear my voice
Without choosing a bruise
But your hurt came fast
And it came for me
Now I’m left to hold
What you couldn’t see
[Chorus]
Too loud a question
Too loud a question
You made it sound like I was gone
Too loud a question
I was hurting, not being strong
(Too loud a question)
[Bridge]
Maybe I said it wrong
Maybe the wound was old
Maybe your fear was big
And I paid the toll
But I’m still your girl
Still here, still real
I need your love
To act like it feels
[Final Chorus]
Too loud a question
Too loud a question
Don’t turn my truth into a crime
Too loud a question
Too loud a question
Love should leave a little light
Too loud a question
Too loud a question
I was reaching for your hand
(Too loud a question)
