One Word

Listen to my story
Will you let me speak?
There is no epic glory
I just wanna say my piece

Don’t turn away
You never know what I’ll say
You’ve got it backwards
Listen, listen to me

One word for every revelation
Talk fast, you won’t remember anything
One word for all the resignation
I’m not strong enough to say out loud

Try to spit it out, it’s burning you up inside
Just say it one word at a time

Looking for a reason
Second time around
What I say won’t please you
Do you hear me now?

Don’t run away
I’ll keep it down so you’ll stay
Down to a whisper
Listen, listen to me

One word for every revelation
Talk fast, you won’t remember anything
One word for all the resignation
I’m not strong enough to say out loud

Try to spit it out, it’s burning you up inside
Just say it one word at a time

Listen to my story
Will you let me speak?
One word for every revelation, it’s burning you up inside
Just say it one word at a time

One word at a time
More than this
Sick of talking in circles
Say it loud
Do you hear me now?

(Listen to my story)
Move my mouth
(Will you let me speak?)
Solve the riddle I’m spinning
(There is no epic glory)
Close your eyes
(I just wanna say my piece)
Do you see me now?

(Listen to my story)
Second chance
(Will you let me speak?)
Tired of living in silence
(There is no epic glory)
Let it out
(I just wanna say my piece)
One word at a time
