Bottled Up Lyrics by Tori Kelly

Unbreakable Smile (Reissue)

2015

[Intro: Tori Kelly]
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 1: Tori Kelly]
This is a story of a girl broken-hearted
Messed up her head, she's so guarded
Don't get me started, whoa
It's cause of you that I got this thick skin
I don't wanna let nobody in
All the pain just stayed in place
And I kept it all tucked away for so long, so long, so long, oh
[Chorus: Tori Kelly]
I just wanna yell
And I just wanna throw it all in your face
It's silly that I've always felt this way
You'd never know
I just wanna yell
You know that I can only take so much
And I don't wanna keep it bottled up anymore, anymore
Whoa oh-oh oh, whoa oh-oh oh
Whoa, I don't wanna keep it bottled up
[Verse 2: Tori Kelly]
I was there, hanging on by a string
Trying to give you my everything
Yeah, that's what they all sing, yeah
You don't know what you put me through
Trying so hard just to prove to you
That I got something to say
But I kept it all tucked away for so long, so long, so long, oh
[Chorus: Tori Kelly]
But now I just wanna yell
I just wanna throw it all in your face
It's silly that I've always felt this way
But you'd never know, oh oh
I just wanna yell
You know that I can only take so much
And I don't wanna keep it bottled up anymore, anymore
Whoa oh oh oh, whoa oh oh oh, yeah
Whoa, anymore
Whoa oh-oh oh, whoa oh-oh oh
Whoa oh-oh oh oh, uh yeah
[Bridge]
I never talked about the way I really felt
You put my heart through hell, thought you knew me so well
But, uh-uh, just waiting for me to fail
But I'm doing the opposite and I can't wait to tell the whole world
You're the one you said would eat me up
Remember when I told you that I wasn't good enough?
And yes, started to believe you, I felt like giving up
Left me with a dream crushed and your empty words stuck to me
I didn't wanna ever feel like that again
So I locked up any kind of emotion, but
I got the keys and I'm ready now
Set the caged bird free, time to let it out
[Chorus: Tori Kelly]
I just wanna yell, yeah
This way, yeah, you never know
I just wanna yell
You know that I can only take so much
I don't wanna keep it bottled up anymore, anymore
Whoa oh-oh oh, oh oh, yeah
Keep it bottled up, I don't wanna keep it bottled up, anymore
Yeah, yeah
I don't wanna keep it bottled up anymore
No more, no more
