"Tongue Tied" lyrics
Broken down, out of luck, scared to not give a fuck
9 to 5, feelin' stuck
Gettin' older
Wakin' up like I'm dead, rather stay in my bed
On the clock, late again
Over and over
Conversations complicate my day
People talk but ain't got much to say
On and on, same old shit, normal life, sick of it
Burnin' out, cavin' in, safe for me to say I've been
Hidin' inside of my doubt
Silently, I wanna shout
Afraid to say what's on my mind, mind, mind
I've been feelin'
Tongue tied, can't speak the words stuck in my head
Mouth dry from all the things I never said
When I should have, I could have been
Someone with the courage to say what's inside
But I'm tongue tied
Up late, no sleep
Made a promise to my father that I can't keep
Told him if I wasn't makin' it by twenty-three
I'd agree to get a job and finish university
But personally, thought of quittin' music didn't occur to me
I would rather take my fuckin' life than wake up thirty-three with hurt in me
Knowin' that I gave it all up purposely
Just to please somebody for some money, I ain't servin' no machine
Self-esteem
Even if you're hated for sayin' what you believe
Even when you're lonely, control the anxiety
I don't need medication just to make it
Rather pay the price 'stead of feelin'
Tongue tied, can't speak the words stuck in my head
Mouth dry from all the things I never said
When I should have, I could have been
Someone with the courage to say what's inside
But I'm tongue tied
I'm tongue tied
I'm tongue tied (Tongue tied)
It's time to shut up my doubt
Open my mouth
Tongue tied (Tongue tied)
I'm tired of pushin' it down
I'm lettin' it out
Open my
Open my
Open my mouth
'Stead of feelin'
Tongue tied, can't speak the words stuck in my head
Mouth dry from all the things I never said
When I should have, I could have been
Someone with the courage to say what's inside
But I'm tongue tied (Tongue tied)
I'm tongue tied (Tongue tied)
Try to speak but I'm tongue tied
I'll find the courage to speak my mind
I'm tongue tied
It's time to shut up my doubt
Open my mouth
'Stead of feelin'
Tongue tied
I'll find the strength to speak my mind
'Stead of feelin'
Tongue tied
Tongue tied
9 to 5, feelin' stuck
Gettin' older
Wakin' up like I'm dead, rather stay in my bed
On the clock, late again
Over and over
Conversations complicate my day
People talk but ain't got much to say
On and on, same old shit, normal life, sick of it
Burnin' out, cavin' in, safe for me to say I've been
Hidin' inside of my doubt
Silently, I wanna shout
Afraid to say what's on my mind, mind, mind
I've been feelin'
Tongue tied, can't speak the words stuck in my head
Mouth dry from all the things I never said
When I should have, I could have been
Someone with the courage to say what's inside
But I'm tongue tied
Up late, no sleep
Made a promise to my father that I can't keep
Told him if I wasn't makin' it by twenty-three
I'd agree to get a job and finish university
But personally, thought of quittin' music didn't occur to me
I would rather take my fuckin' life than wake up thirty-three with hurt in me
Knowin' that I gave it all up purposely
Just to please somebody for some money, I ain't servin' no machine
Self-esteem
Even if you're hated for sayin' what you believe
Even when you're lonely, control the anxiety

Tongue tied, can't speak the words stuck in my head
Mouth dry from all the things I never said

I'm tongue tied
I'm tongue tied (Tongue tied)
It's time to shut up my doubt
Open my mouth
Tongue tied (Tongue tied)
I'm tired of pushin' it down
I'm lettin' it out
Open my
Open my
Open my mouth

Tongue tied, can't speak the words stuck in my head
Mouth dry from all the things I never said

I'm tongue tied (Tongue tied)
Try to speak but I'm tongue tied
I'll find the courage to speak my mind
I'm tongue tied
It's time to shut up my doubt
Open my mouth
'Stead of feelin'
Tongue tied
I'll find the strength to speak my mind
'Stead of feelin'
Tongue tied
Tongue tied
