With words that I should have said
As I drown in my regrets
I can't take back the words I never said
I can't take back the words I never said

You get it, then they move it, so you never keeping up enough

Gaza Strip was getting bombed, Obama didn't say shit

It's so loud inside my head
With words that I should have said
As I drown in my regrets
I can't take back the words I never said

I can't take back the words I never said

I think that all the silence is worse than all the violence
Fear is such a weak emotion, that's why I despise it
We scared of almost everything, afraid to even tell the truth
So scared of what you think of me, I'm scared of even telling you

Sometimes I'm like the only person I feel safe to tell it to
I'm locked inside a cell in me, I know that there's a jail in you
Consider this your bailing out, so take a breath, inhale a few
My screams is finally getting free, my thoughts is finally yelling through

It's so loud inside my head
With words that I should have said
As I drown in my regrets
I can't take back the words I never said

With words that I should have said
As I drown in my regrets
