Lyrics

David

[Verse]

Oh, When did it start to climb over

These walls I thought I made

When did it rise up in your mind

Come back to your heart, David

[Pre-Chorus]

I don’t need much

Just for you to be good to me

[Verse]

But how do you do it?

Keep your cool

While I’m burning up inside

How have I done, kept quiet

All my pain, just for your pride

[Chorus]

I call out to you, shame rises

It’s too late to apologize

Calling out your name

I say it out loud to speak this pain, David

I don’t need much

Just for you to be good to me

And I won’t stay quiet

To hold all my pain just for your pride

(David, David)

[Verse]

So, when will it end?

How do I peel myself back up again

My heart aches

Can you show me love is real?

Show me you’re listening?

[Chorus]

I call out to you, shame rises

It’s too late to apologizе

Calling out your name

I say it out loud to speak this pain, David

I don’t need much

Just for you to be good to mе

And I won’t stay quiet

To hold all my pain just for your…

Not for your pride

I won’t stay quiet

Not for your…

No (No, No, No, No)

[Outro]

I won’t stay quiet

Not for your pride

David, David

I say your name out loud

David, David

I won’t stay quiet
