Speak Up

Verse 1

Brown eyes, white smile

Had me fooled for a little while

Guess honesty went out of style

And you left me in denial

Chorus

Say it with your chest, don’t whisper my name

Don’t try to turn your silence into my blame

If I was a mistake, say that instead

Rather than leaving me on read

So speak up, we can’t all hear you

Funny how brave you were till I got near you

If you hate me, say it like it’s easy

But you can’t, can you, baby?

Verse 2

Knew you weren’t different, that’s on me

I fell for every line you rehearsed so perfectly

Had me thinking we were meant to be

And that’s what really fooled me

Chorus

Say it with your chest, don’t whisper my name

Don’t try to turn your silence into my blame

If I was a mistake, say that instead

Rather than leaving me on read

So speak up, we can’t all hear you

Funny how brave you were till I got near you

If you hate me, say it like it’s easy

But you can’t, can you, baby?

Bridge

You were my friend before lines got crossed

The one I’d call whenever I felt lost

So losing you isn’t just losing some guy

I’m grieving the friend you let die

Chorus

Say it with your chest, don’t whisper my name

Don’t try to turn your silence into my blame

If I was a mistake, say that instead

Rather than leaving me on read

So speak up, we can’t all hear you

Funny how brave you were till I got near you

If you hate me, say it like it’s easy

But you can’t, can you, baby?

Outro

But you can’t, you can’t, you can’t

Can you baby?
