[Intro]
You keep talking like the room belongs to you
But every word falls short of what you put me through
[Verse 1]
You came by with your coat still smelling like the train
Said you had a reason, then you said my name
I watched you draw a circle, blame me for the rain
Now the same old story's wearing through the frame
You talk fast, but the truth walks slow
I know that look, I know where this will go
You want the last word, want the door left wide
But you can't keep throwing stones from the other side
[Pre-Chorus]
I gave you my patience, I gave you my time
You turned every answer into another line
If you came for forgiveness, don't dress it as proof
I've got one thing to say, and it's meant for you
[Chorus]
Shut your mouth, let the silence tell it true
No more promises falling through
Shut your mouth, I can finally hear my heart
You had your say, now we're worlds apart
[Verse 2]
You keep a little notebook full of everybody's blame
But you never write a sentence with your own name
I carried all your weather, wore the thunder in my chest
Now I'm setting down the burden, let the quiet do the rest
Don't confuse my kindness for a place you can return
Some bridges need a match before they ever learn
You can knock until the morning, you can plead until you're hoarse
But a closed door isn't cruel when it's protecting what's yours
[Pre-Chorus]
I gave you my patience, I gave you my time
You turned every answer into another line
If you came for forgiveness, don't dress it as proof
I've got one thing to say, and it's meant for you
[Chorus]
Shut your mouth, let the silence tell it true
No more promises falling through
Shut your mouth, I can finally hear my heart
You had your say, now we're worlds apart
[Bridge]
Background singers: Let it go, let it go
Lead: I don't need to make you understand
Background singers: Let it go, let it go
Lead: I just need my peace back in my hands
Background singers: Let it go, let it go
Lead: Every answer doesn't need a fight
Background singers: Let it go, let it go
Lead: I choose the quiet, I choose my life
[Final Chorus]
Shut your mouth, let the silence tell it true
No more promises falling through
Shut your mouth, I can finally hear my heart
You had your say, now we're worlds apart
Shut your mouth, let the old room lose its doubt
I found the strength to walk out
Shut your mouth, I won't be pulled back down
Peace is the sweetest sound I've found
[Outro]
No hard feelings, no last scene
Just a little space where I can breathe
You had your say, now let me choose
The quiet life I have to lose
