Scared to speak
Finding words for an e-mail to you
Tried to see through the herd
to find it stuck on my shoe
Hanging on, piece of gum, it's time to let it go loose
We'll just move on

And let me write a song
like all the songs I love to listen to
Writing 'cause I'm healing
Never writing songs to hurt you
Using what I'm best at and I hope you do the same
I'd sure make a movie
before plannin' on somethin' to say

I turned off the TV and I laid in my bed
Sat and thought blissfully listening to Elliott
Writing songs, he did the same about situations
Would've been just the same, you had to make it obvious
Oh, come on, man

Just let me write a song
like all the songs I love to listen to
Writing 'cause I'm healing
Never writing songs to hurt you
Using what I'm best at and I hope you do the same
I'd sure make a movie
before plannin' on somethin' to say

And you messed up
All by yourself
And I sat right here, secretly tried to help
And I did my best
And you'd never know
'Cause your satisfaction's for you just to gloat
And it was my song
Oh just a song
You made it worse just by singing along
Just keep busy
Oh, and make a movie
And I'll stick to writing my songs

Getting tired don't want to speak
Oh, please let me go to sleep
Getting tired don't want to speak
Oh, please let me go to sleep
Getting tired don't want to speak
Oh, please let me go to sleep
Getting tired don't want to speak
Oh, please let me go to sleep
