"Shut Up" lyrics

"Shut Up"

What if we all shut up for a minute?
What if we took some time to breathe?
Think about the words inside before you say 'em
I just want to know what you need
'Cause there's more than one way to say
"I'm sorry I fucked up"
There's more than one way
I promise to love ya
What if we all shut up?

One by one
We might make it if you can take it, I can barely keep it in
How can I apologize after all this time and all these lies?
I can't even hear myself breathing
In a minute, I'm about to do what I told you
You know honey, I ain't getting any younger
And I can't talk to myself any more
I can't talk to myself

Hey! What if we all shut up for a minute?
What if we took some time to breathe?
Think about the words inside before you say 'em
I just want to know what you need
'Cause there's more than one way to say
"I'm sorry I fucked up"
There's more than one way
I promise I love ya
What if we all shut up?

The quiet place that we carved out together
No, I don't even recognize it now
And I'm not asking for your sympathy
I guess I'm only asking why do we keep on falling for the same illusions
When life goes on without us in the meantime

Hey! What if we all shut up for a minute?
What if we took some time to breathe?
Think about the words inside before you say 'em
I just want to know what you need
'Cause there's more than one way to say
"I'm sorry I fucked up"
There's more than one way
I promise I love ya

Baby love looks pretty good to me, baby love
Baby love looks pretty good to me, baby love
(Hey) Well I know how much it hurts after the fall
I'd be there with you but for the grace of God

Hey! What if we all shut up for a minute?
What if we took some time to breathe?
Think about the words inside before you say 'em
I just want to know what you need
Hey! What if we all shut up for a minute?
What if we took some time to breath?
Think about the words inside before you say 'em
I just want to know what you need
'Cause there's more than one way to say
"I'm sorry I fucked up"
There's more than one way
I promise I love ya
What if we all shut up?
