Kazul - Say It Wrong

Lyrics: I rehearse the words before I speak, Still somehow say the wrong thing. A simple thought, a harmless line, Turns into another fight. I never meant to make you hurt, But you hear something in my words. Now I'm explaining what I meant, And wishing I had never said it. So I measure every sentence, Second-guess what's on my mind. Cut away the parts that make me, Someone you might not like. I say it wrong, I say it wrong, Even when my heart's in the right place. So I bite my tongue, I play along, Till there's nothing left of me to say. If I speak, I start a fire, If I'm quiet, I disappear. I say it wrong, I say it wrong, So I keep it all in here. You say you wanna know the real me, But I don't know what I can show. Every time I let my guard down, There's another thing I should've known. Was it something in my wording? Was it something in my tone? How can I be who I really am, When being me keeps going wrong? I don't wanna walk on eggshells, I don't wanna cause you pain. But I'm tired of feeling guilty, For the things I didn't mean to say. Now I filter every feeling, Leave the honest parts behind. You can hear me when I'm talking, But there's so much more inside. I say it wrong, I say it wrong, Even when my heart's in the right place. So I bite my tongue, I play along, Till there's nothing left of me to say. If I speak, I start a fire, If I'm quiet, I disappear. I say it wrong, I say it wrong, So I keep it all in here. I don't need you to agree, With every little thing I say. I just wanna feel like I can speak, Without pushing you away. And I know I'm not perfect, I know my words can come out wrong. But how can someone really know me, If I have to hide this much for so long? I say it wrong, I say it wrong, Even when my heart's in the right place. So I bite my tongue, I play along, Till there's nothing left of me to say. If I speak, I start a fire, If I'm quiet, I disappear. I say it wrong, I say it wrong, And I'm tired of living here. You ask me why I'm quiet, Why I've got nothing to say. There's a thousand things inside me... I just don't know which ones are safe.
