​the words you say Lyrics by Jackson Marshall

thrift stores near me

2023

[Intro]
(Listen to all your words)
(Listen to all your words)
(Listen to all your words)
[Verse 1]
I guess I grew up kinda indecisive
My mom can see it straight through the silence
Doing anything to stay away from the violence
It's killing me (It's killing me, it's killing me, it's killing me)
Cause this picture-perfect world just been throwing me 'round
You saw a lot of new things when you went out of town
They said don't chase your dreams cause you gon' look like a clown
But when nobody's around what am I thinking about
[Chorus]
Yeah
Movie magic wasn't made in one day it took some learning
Hardest things to see are the things that lay behind the curtain
Hardest things to see are the thoughts that lay behind the person
Why do I gotta be perfect? (Oh)
I don't wanna tell you that I changed (No)
I just wanna look you in the face (Oh)
I don't wanna tell you how to feel (No)
But sometimes it be driving me insane (Oh)
So don't tell me hold on
When you feel the crack of dawn
And you know it's your time to go
So don't tell me I'm fine
You a voice from the side
And I listen to all your words
(And I listen to all—)
[Verse 2]
(Words)
Why you wanna break my things?
You wanna pack my bags, you wanna pull my strings
You wanna (hurt)
Now you wanna sell my clothes, you wanna break my doors
You wanna tell me why I gotta (hurt)
Don't matter how much I try
Or if I take my life, or if I try to find
You'll never (learn)
I guess I'm just past all the cries
And I'm just past all the times
When you would look in my eyes
And tell me (sure)
Couple friends going back home cause they hate it
Now the old face kinda faded
And they don't know where they staying (Sure)
End up by the couch, sleep by your parents
And your moms mad with her 2 friends
Pouring her emotions out
[Chorus]
Yeah
Movie magic wasn't made in one day it took some learning
Hardest things to see are the things that lay behind the curtain
Hardest things to see are the thoughts that lay behind the person
Why do I gotta be perfect? (Oh)
I don't wanna tell you that I changed (No)
I just wanna look you in the face (Oh)
I don't wanna tell you how to feel (No)
But sometimes it be driving me insane (Oh)
So don't tell me hold on
When you feel the crack of dawn
And you know it's your time to go
So don't tell me I'm fine
You a voice from the side
And I listen to all your words
[Outro]
(I listen to all your words)
(I listen to all your words)
