I wouldn't speak my mind
I didn't want to make them mad

I looked up to them
for the courage I thought I didn't have

I never bothered to lift a finger
to make my point
now I'm spelling it out
and nobody's listening

(Chorus)
It's hard to take it to heart
it hurts to be apart
but I can't watch and not be heard

The days go by and things get worse
but they say they can only get better

I try to make a dent
but it blends in with all the damage

I try to look the other way
but there's a mirror behind me

I see images of what can be done
it seems like I'm the only one

(Chorus)
It's hard to take it to heart
it hurts to be apart
but I can't watch and not be heard

I wouldn't speak my mind
I wouldn't speak my mind
I wouldn't speak my mind
I wouldn't speak my mind
I wouldn't speak my mind
I wouldn't speak my mind
I wouldn't speak my mind
I wouldn't... Speak... My... Mind
