Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I used to swallow words

Till they sat like stones

Kept my mouth shut tight

Like it was set in bone

Hands in my pockets

Eyes on the floor

You said "be nice"

I let it go before

I learned that silence

Can look like peace

But it eats you up

When you won't release

[Pre-Chorus]

Now my pulse is loud

Yeah, I hear it clear

If I don't speak up

Who gonna steer?

[Chorus]

Say it first

Say it first

I won't fold

I won't hurt myself

Say it first

Say it first

I'm done being small

I'm done being helped

[Verse 2]

I was scared of my own voice

Scared of the shake

Scared my truth would crack

Everything I make

But I watched them take

More than I gave

So I stood my ground

And I broke that cage

Now when I walk in

I take my place

If you cross that line

You'll see my face

[Pre-Chorus]

Now my pulse is loud

Yeah, I hear it clear

If I don't speak up

Who gonna steer?

[Chorus]

Say it first

Say it first

I won't fold

I won't hurt myself

Say it first

Say it first

I'm done being small

I'm done being helped

[Bridge]

[Half-time]

I kept the fear

Like a chain on my tongue

Now I cut it loose

Watch me come undone

Not in a cruel way

Just in a true way

I know my worth now

I don't move away

[Final Chorus]

Say it first

Say it first

I won't fold

I won't hurt myself

Say it first

Say it first

I'm done being small

I'm done being helped

Say it first

Say it first

This time I choose me

This time I won't yield
