If I donât say anything itâs wrong
if I said it, it wouldnât come out right
Itâs been keeping me up all night
Half my life Iâve been told to shut up
so how am I gonna open up
wish you could just read my mind
Pre-chorus:
If I shared all of me would you run away
if I sugar coated what I had to say
in poetry would it make you stay
Chorus:
I wish I was born Bob Dylan
Had all the words to speak my feelings
I wish I stood up like Rosa Parks
and followed my heart
unafraid of the truth
even if I stood alone
I didnât know how it was gonna go
even if the water was cold Iâd take a deep breath
and get it off my chest
and hope for the best
Verse 2:
They say either way you win
if itâs mutual why hold it in
and itâs not meant to be
and you tell the truth it will set you free
but all their wisdom doesnât help me now
Iâm scared and I gotta find out
how to speak my mind
without metaphors and prose and rhymes
and still make you mine
Pre chorus 2:
I hope you know what I mean when Iâm acting mean
cuz I donât say what I mean when Iâm caught in-between
and Iâm afraid
the real you is eluding me
Bridge:
And hope you will catch
me when I fall
and love me back
when I show you my all
Fill in the blanks
if Iâm not making sense
be patient with me
Chorus:
I wish I was born Bob Dylan
Had all the words to speak my feelings
I wish I stood up like Rosa Parks
and followed my heart
unafraid of the truth
even if I stood alone
I didnât know how it was gonna go
even if the water was cold Iâd take a deep breath
and get it off my chest
and hope for the best
Even if I stood alone
didnât know how it was gonna go
gotta get it off my chest
and hope for the best
if I donât say anything itâs wrong if I said it it wouldnât come out right
