Verse 1:
I kept my mouth shut from the start
I guess I left you in the dark
You thought you knew me but you don't
You say you'll love me but you wont
(hold)
When you find out who I am

Verse 2:
I kept my mouth shut for too long
All this time you got me wrong
Now we're in this way too far
I'm about to break your heart
Tear everything we had apart
Chorus:
Cause I'm feeling lost
When I'm in your arms
The reasons are gone
For why I was holding
on to you
I tried so hard
To be the one
I don't like who
I've become
Interlude: Bb--
Verse 3:
Won't keep my mouth shut anymore
I've had my share of closing doors
Now I know I'm not afraid
I know exactly what you'll say
But I'm sorry it's too late
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge:
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
(I kept inside of me
for all this time)
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
(Thought that I could make
it work if I just tried)
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
(But I'm sorry to admit
that I have lived a lie)
--F(hold)
(Repeat Chorus and Interlude)
Outro:
I kept my mouth shut for too long
(hold)
Now I know that it was wrong
I wish I told you from the start
That this was never meant to last
(hold)
We should've never gone this far
(hold)
Won't keep my mouth shut anymore
