Am
Will you hear me if
I kick and scream and holler and shout
E
Will you hear me if
F
I cleanse my teeth and cover my mouth
C
Will you hear the things you should have already figured out
E
Will you solve all of our problems if we don't make a sound
Am
Will you save me if
I do a dance to prove
E
I'm devout Or will you blame me for complaining that you're never around
Will you hate me for defaming you in front of a crowd
Your silence is loud

Saying save me save me

Trying to find my way home

I know is that you won't be there to save me save me

[Verso 4]
I was so anxious about how

I would appear in your eyes Till
I realized how

I'm slowly spending bits of my life
I could spend it making poetry or hearing you whine

The decision is mine
A E
Now my so-called friends seem slipping away
F
Never been so distant never had so much space
Never been better never had a reason to shout
But the silence is loud
