Bite My Tongue Lyrics by Ally Evenson

In My Dreams, You Laugh At Me

2021

[Verse 1]
You won’t shut up and I’m holding back
All the empty space is filled with your stories of a time you’ll soon forget
Do I still remind you of yourself?
Wide-eyed and hopeful through this living hell
You put me through for loving you

[Pre-Chorus]
And you asked me why
I would always lie

[Chorus]
I wanted you to know my name
If only I could help you to forget it
Oh, the way it feels to cry at nineteen
Hurts a lot more when you understand it
Now I bite my tongue, hold my breath and for what?
I don’t know, I guess
Maybe I failed at something you did right

[Verse 2]
I don’t miss you, I just want it back
All the things I could’ve had but didn’t get
You pushed me down under your thumb

[Pre-Chorus]
And you wonder why
All I did was lie
Why

[Chorus]
I wantеd you to know my name
If only I could help you to forget it
Oh, thе way it feels to cry at nineteen
Hurts a lot more when you understand it
Now I bite my tongue, hold my breath and for what?
I don’t know, I guess
Maybe I failed at something you did right

[Bridge]
I wanted you to know
I wanted you to know
I wanted you to know
I wanted you to know

[Chorus]
I wanted you to know my name
If only I could help you to forget it
Oh, the way it feels to cry at nineteen
Hurts a lot more when you understand it
I bite my tongue, hold my breath and for what?
I don’t know, I guess
Maybe I failed at something you did right
