Lyrics:

Everybody talks too much, but nobody says enough.
You're the girl of my dreams, but my silence is wounding.
There are monsters in my past.
They're keeping me holding back.
Everybody said that love was tough.
Nobody told me it was dangerous.

It's not what I say, that hurts the most,
It's what you hear, when my mouth is closed.
It's an ugly war where no one wins,
We're tied in an ocean, if you sink, I can't swim.

Why did you have to say, "You're holding me back"?
If it weren't for you, I couldn't dream like that.
Every bit of who I am is because of who you are.
Some nights are cloudy, but, baby, there's still stars.

Maybe I've said too much, maybe I've said enough.
Why can't I ever seem to say what I really mean.
There are monsters in my past keeping me holding back.
I've built these walls so high, you'd have to learn to fly.

It's not what I say, that hurts the most,
It's what you hear, when my mouth is closed.
It's an ugly war where no one wins,
We're tied in an ocean, if you sink, I can't swim.

Why did you have to say, "You're holding me back"?
If it weren't for you, I couldn't dream like that.
Every bit of who I am is because of who you are.
Some nights are cloudy, but, baby, there's still stars.

If you've read this far, good job!
