[Verse 1]
My mother told me one day
She's tired of my sad songs
But loving you has only
Made me cry twice or so
The day that I said I loved you
You didn't say it in return
That was the day I realized
That silence is actually hurt

[Chorus]
And I am done changing words
Just so my songs sound prettier
I just don't care if it hurts
'Cause it hurts me too

[Verse 2]
I hate that feeling at night
When I thought my eyes were closed
But they were open the whole time
It was just too dark to know
And what am I 'posed to do when
My dad cries in front of me?
Do I just close my eyes and
Pretend like I didn't see?
[Chorus]
And I am done changing words
Just so my songs sound prettier
I just don't care if it hurts
'Cause it hurts me too
