Lyrics

Speak Up

Started running now
But I cant see straight
I can't communicate
I swear we never will

You will never make me break me down again

So just please just understand
I can take it away
Our time is running out
And I can see it in your

I won't be there when you hit the ground

You talk to me
I swear you'll see

Speak up with the words you just said
When I'm falling down
How do you know?
How do you notice?

Speak up, stop ignoring the fact
That you let me down

Just answer me, you know I need it all
Yeah, you're holdin' inside
You can't breathe in
I swear you never will

Fuck you all, I'll show you, now I'm gone

You talk to me
I swear we'll see

Speak up with the words you just said
When I'm falling down
How do you know?
How do you notice?

Speak up, stop ignoring the fact
That you let me down, just answer me

We started running now
But I can't see straight
We started running now
But I can't see straight

We started running now
But I can't see straight
We started running now
But I can't see straight

We started running now
But I can't see straight
We started running now
(We started running now)

But I can't see straight
(But I can't see straight)
We started running now
(We started running now)
But I can't see straight
