I see you drown
In your emotions
No need to pretend
My heart is open
I'm so scared to ask the wrong thing
But I still wanna know
I see you scream
Into the silence
You've never been heard
I'm here and I promise
I'm listening,
And I'll die trying to understand
But how could I know
What it's like
What it means
How it feels
I'll never know
So please explain it to me
So I can understand
Why don't we talk about it?
Tell me what you think about it
Say it honestly
Tell me how you feel
Why can't we talk about it?
I'm trying to wrap my head around it
Tell me how you feel
Say it honestly.
Why don't we, talk about it?
I see them shame you
Into the background
Steal from your shine
Force you to tone down
They know that
If you're rooted
In your power
They can't own you
And they're scared to lose control
I hate that you know
What it's like
What it means
How it feels.
I'll never know
So please,
Explain it to me
So I can understand
Why don't we talk about it?
Tell me what you think about it
Say it honestly
Tell me how you feel
Why can't we talk about it?
I'm trying to wrap my head around it
Tell me how you feel
Say it honestly.
Why don't we talk about it?
Stop drawing lines
On different sides
I'm tired of the labels
and the bubbles we get put inside
We're just people
Tryin' to live
Tryin' to love
Tryin' to find a way
Why don't we talk about it?
Tell me what you think about it
Say it honestly
Tell me how you feel
Why can't we talk about it?
I'm trying to wrap my head around it
Tell me how you feel
Say it honestly.
Why don't we talk about it?
