Don't speak
If it's not who you are
If you ask me
I'd prefer to see your scars
You're free
Of everything they said you were
Trust me
I was there beside you

'Cause they're wrong
You're much more than they've let on

So say it
Even if you're shaking
Let it thunder out of you
Even if it hurts
And wake it
The voice that doesn't fake it
Let it tell your story
And save the ones who hear
'Cause I'm here too
Too

Don't smile
If cry is what you gotta do
You're not a child
And I'm learning what that looks like too

'Cause I've been where you've been and
I'm not proud
Yeah, I've done what you did but
Look at us now, uh

So say it
Even if you're shaking
Let it thunder out of you
Even if it hurts
And wake it
The voice that doesn't fake it
Let it tell your story
And save the ones who hear
'Cause I'm here too
Too

You're not, you're not
What you thought you were
I know, I know
I've been there before

And I've been there, so
Say it
Even if you're shaking
Let it thunder out of you

So say it
Even if you're shaking
Let it thunder out of you
Even if it hurts
And wake it
The voice that doesn't fake it
Let it tell your story
And save the ones who hear
'Cause I'm here too
