Never be afraid to speak your mind.


For too long, I’ve stayed quiet, mute
Hiding behind the door
Not sure if I should open it
Not sure anymore
Everytime I try to fix the problem
It escalates, always ends accusing me
Then they call me selfish
For saying what I’ve been hiding

I’m not selfish
I’m not the one to blame
You are foolish
To even think
I was gonna stick up for you,
When you sounded so damn cruel
And when I spoke up
You were the victim
And I was the culprit
I’m not selfish
And you’re the culprit
And I’m the victim
And I’m the victim

I wrote you a letter, but I’m not gonna send it
I don’t wanna hurt your feelings
Or play with your emotions
But I’m not so sure
I think you need to hear what I have to say
(oh, oh, oh)
Because obviously you don’t see the light
You don’t see the light shining through to you

I’m not selfish
I’m not the one to blame
You are foolish
To even think
I was gonna stick up for you,
When you sounded so damn cruel
And when I spoke up
You were the victim
And I was the culprit
I’m not selfish
And you’re the culprit
And I’m the victim
And I’m the victim

Now that the truth is out
How does it feel?
How does it feel to stand up to your own mistakes?

You are selfish
Blame yourself
You are foolish
To even think
I was gonna stick up for you,
When you sounded so damn cruel
And when I spoke up
You were the victim
And I was the culprit
I’m not selfish
And you’re the culprit
And I’m the victim
And I’m the victim

Sometimes you just need to speak your mind and don't worry about what other people think.
