[Intro]
Stop putting words in my mouth
They taste better when they’re coming out
Still I can’t help but choke them down when you’re around but I can’t seem to keep it down

[Verse 1]
Don’t let it go to your head
I’m not here for my health
If I was then I’d be dead
Instead I’m testing my patience waiting around for you to be gracious
I’ll never let go

[Chorus]
Don’t be afraid
I’m on the front lines to fight for you
Stop putting words in my mouth
They taste better when they’re coming out
Still I can’t help but choke them down when you’re around but I can’t seem to keep it down

[Verse 2]
Last time I said goodbye I thought my good years were washed up;
Hung out to dry
With the mindset that everything was fine but then I realized
That it was right in front of my eyes

[Chorus]
Don’t be afraid
I’m on the front lines to fight for you
Stop putting words in my mouth
They taste better when they’re coming out
Still I can’t help but choke them down when you’re around but I can’t seem to keep it down
[Bridge]
Everyday I’m smashed and ripped and torn to bits that never fit the mold
But I recognize the way that I was never really whole

[Chorus]
Don’t be afraid
I’m on the front lines to fight for you
Stop putting words in my mouth
They taste better when they’re coming out
Still I can’t help but choke them down when you’re around but I can’t seem to keep it down
