[Intro]
I don't know how to say this…
But fuck it, I'ma say it anyways.
Yeah…
[Verse 1]
Been holding back words that I should've said,
Running every conversation through my head.
I keep biting my tongue till it bleeds,
Trying to be everything everybody needs.
But I'm tired of pretending I'm okay,
Tired of smiling just to make it through the day.
So if this ruins everything, let it fall,
I'd rather tell the truth than say nothing at all.
[Pre-Chorus]
So here we go, no turning back,
Got a million things I've kept intact.
My heart's been screaming, "Let it out,"
So I'm done living with the doubt.
[Chorus]
I don't know how to say this,
But fuck it, I'ma say it anyways.
I've been keeping all this shit inside,
Now it's coming out tonight.
I don't know where this takes us,
I don't know what you're gonna say,
But I'd rather risk it all right now
Than keep hiding it away.
[Verse 2]
I got words that I've been scared to speak,
Truths that make me feel too weak.
Maybe you'll stay, maybe you'll leave,
Maybe you'll finally understand me.
I've been acting like I don't give a damn,
When honestly, I'm barely holding my hands.
I'm done pretending that I'm bulletproof,
So here's the part where I tell you the truth.
[Bridge]
Fuck the fear, fuck the doubt,
Fuck the words I never let out.
If my voice starts shaking, let it shake,
If my heart starts breaking, let it break.
[Final Chorus]
I don't know how to say this,
But fuck it, I'ma say it anyways.
You mean more than I ever let you know,
And I'm scared to let that show.
I don't know what happens after,
I don't know if you'll walk away,
But at least you'll know the truth tonight—
I couldn't keep it locked away.
[Outro]
I don't know how to say this…
So fuck it.
I'm saying it anyways.
