Speak Up

the words you want to say are always
between the tip of your tongue and the back of your throat
the silence you scream means the world to me
but if you're thinking about not talking to us when you need someone

don't

use us as a crutch
when your knees are weak
use me as a shoulder
when the world's on yours

and just please don't think i won't be there
because you know that's a lie
i would rather die before you try to

the words you want to say are always
on the tip of your tongue, but the back of your throat's where they go
the silence you scream means the world to me
so can we just lay here and enjoy the silence, please?

fingers intertwined
just your hand in mine
no words, just time

but if you're thinking about not talking to us when you need someone
don't

the words you want to say are always
just on the tip of your tongue
but you keep them in the back of your throat
the silence you scream means the world to me
so can we just lay here and talk

about everything
