Lyrics

Her best friend tells me that she's 22 years old,
but i can tell she's been 40 all her life.
She sits down, next to me, and she takes a drink.
A hurried start to another wasted night.

As a whisper leaves her lips,
a scream leaves her eyes.
She leans in and puts her hand in mine.
And she says,
'I can never let it out. Nobody showed me how.
When you try to hold it down, eventually,
it comes out wrong.'

We all have days when this world seems tough to swallow.
She says, 'it's fine if you chase it down'.
But things will change, when i find her here tomorrow, she'll confess to me what she has found.

As a whisper leaves her lips
a scream leaves her eyes.
She leans in and puts her hand in mine.
And she says,
I can never let it out. Nobody showed me how.
When you try to hold it down, eventually,
it comes out wrong.
It comes out wrong, sometimes without a sound.
It comes out wrong when you try to hold it down.
It comes out wrong, so you best just leave it be.
It comes out wrong, eventually.
