If I don't say anything, it's wrong If I said it, it wouldn't come out right It's been keeping me up all night Half my life I've been told to shut up So how am I gonna open up? Wish you could just read my mind If I shared all of me, would you run away? If I sugar coated what I had to say In poetry would it make you stay? I wish I was born Bob Dylan Had all the words to speak my feelings I wish I stood up like Rosa Parks and followed my heart Unafraid of the truth, even if I stood alone I didn't know how it was gonna go Even if the water was cold I'd take a deep breath and get it off my chest And hope for the best They say either way you win If it's mutual, why hold it in? And it's not meant to be And you tell the truth it will set you free But all their wisdom doesn't help me now I'm scared and I gotta find out how to speak my mind Without metaphors and prose and rhymes And still make you mine I hope you know what I mean when I'm acting mean 'Cause I don't say what I mean when I'm caught in-between And I'm afraid, the real you is eluding me I wish I was born Bob Dylan Had all the words to speak my feelings I wish I stood up like Rosa Parks and followed my heart Unafraid of the truth, even if I stood alone I didn't know how it was gonna go Even if the water was cold I'd take a deep breath and get it off my chest And hope you will catch me when I fall And love me back when I show you my all Fill in the blanks if I'm not making sense Be patient with me I wish I was born Bob Dylan Had all the words to speak my feelings I wish I stood up like Rosa Parks and followed my heart Unafraid of the truth, even if I stood alone I didn't know how it was gonna go Even if the water was cold I'd take a deep breath and get it off my chest And hope for the best Even if I stood alone Didn't know how it was gonna go Gotta get it off my chest And hope for the best If I don't say anything, it's wrong If I said it it wouldn't come out right
