Lyrics

In this mundane world
All I want is to find a shred of happiness
Things are heavy but we press on

Lifting the weight off my shoulders
Searching for myself I feel lost
Strangers on the train, we move on

I just wanna speak
Speak very loud
Hear me out
I just wanna speak
Feel heard even when alone
Hear me now

This city could chew you and spit you out
I’m on my knees praying with doubt
All the walls are caving in

I’m in the eye of the storm
Hoping you’ll understand me more
I’ll show you underneath my skin

I just wanna speak
Speak very loud
Hear me out
I just wanna speak
Feel heard even when alone
Hear me now

Strangers on a train
People playing games
Never telling you the truth
Even when it hits you in the face

Why can’t you accept me
Just for who I am?
Why must your mountain be so tall?
I’m falling and I can’t hold on!

I just wanna speak
Speak very loud
Hear me out
I just wanna speak
Feel heard even when alone
Hear me now

Hear my voice
Hear my truth
I love you
I need you
Don’t you know I can’t do this without you
