Eating My Words

[Intro]

Stop putting words in my mouth

They taste better when they’re coming out

Still I can’t help but choke them down when you’re around but I can’t seem to keep it down

[Verse 1]

Don’t let it go to your head

I’m not here for my health

If I was then I’d be dead

Instead I’m testing my patience waiting around for you to be gracious

I’ll never let go

[Chorus]

Don’t be afraid

I’m on the front lines to fight for you

Stop putting words in my mouth

They taste better when they’re coming out

Still I can’t help but choke them down when you’re around but I can’t seem to keep it down

[Verse 2]

Last time I said goodbye I thought my good years were washed up;

Hung out to dry

With the mindset that everything was fine but then I realized

That it was right in front of my eyes

[Chorus]

Don’t be afraid

I’m on the front lines to fight for you

Stop putting words in my mouth

They taste better when they’re coming out

Still I can’t help but choke them down when you’re around but I can’t seem to keep it down

[Bridge]

Everyday I’m smashed and ripped and torn to bits that never fit the mold

But I recognize the way that I was never really whole

[Chorus]

Don’t be afraid

I’m on the front lines to fight for you

Stop putting words in my mouth

They taste better when they’re coming out

Still I can’t help but choke them down when you’re around but I can’t seem to keep it down
