"Hush" lyrics

(Hush, hush, hush, hush)

Don't tell me to act like a lady
(Hush)
Then go 'round, 'round treating me like a baby
I don't like how you use that phrase
(Hush)
I am tired of being erased
From the things that I already said
(Gush)

So listen up, punk
I'm tired of being told to speak louder
Then being told to hush up when I do
(Hush)
I'm done with your fucking contradictions too

I'm done
With people
Turning their heads when I cuss
'Cause my face is too fragile
My age, it's a must that I
(Hush)
I hush, hush, hush-hush
But I don't wanna hush

In fact, I wanna scream
From the top of my lungs
I wanna be something so they say
"She's something special"
Maybe I just want someone to listen
So listen to me now

Hush, hush, hush, hush
A little louder this time
'Cause I'm not singing no more hush-a-bye
(Hush)

Don't wanna smile
'Cause I'm feeling down today
(Hush)
Not always down to go out and play
I just want to spend the day
(Hush)
By my own side today
Don't care if you think that's okay
(Hush)

So now I'm conceited or I'm insecure
There's no in between
I'm a prude or I'm a who l'd onto who I am
So look around and ask why I frown

Well, you make me wanna scream
From the top of my lungs
I wanna be something so they say
"She's something special"
Maybe I just want someone to listen
So listen to me now

Hush, hush, hush, hush
A little louder this time
Hush, hush, hush, hush
A little louder every time
'Cause I'm not singing no more hush-a-bye

Bye-bye
Bye-bye
Hush, hush, hush, hush
Hush, hush
Bye-bye
Bye-bye
Bye-bye
Hush, hush, hush, hush
Bye-bye

'Cause you make me wanna (Hush) scream
From the top of my lungs
I wanna be something so they say
"She's something special"
Maybe I just want someone to listen
So listen to me now

Listen when I scream
From the top of my lungs
I wanna be something so they say
"She's something special"
Maybe I just want someone to listen
So listen to me now

Hush, hush, hush, hush
A little louder this time
Hush, hush, hush, hush
A little louder every time

But I'm not hushing no more
(Hush, hush, hush)
