“You better not speak,” That’s what I kept telling myself. “You’re weak, Just keep All apologies shelved.” I wish I would have been the bigger man When I had the chance But I took my time, Only to find My grudge Far too much to hold I wish somebody would’ve told me, “Sometimes, letting go ain’t a bad thing.” I’ve never heard of holding on setting anyone free. Everybody knows, There’s still hope, so, Keep your head up, Enough. Times get tough. But it shouldn’t take a tragedy To inspire me to speak. You are not a stranger And you’re not at fault. I was a coward who just couldn’t find a cause, Just know that you belong. And I guess that it’s a good thing You’re not like me You’re the victim I’m the guilty I wish I would’ve been the bigger man Cause now I can’t Take back all the crass remarks that I chose to make But sometimes, letting go ain’t a bad thing I’ve never heard of holding on setting anyone free Keep your head up, Enough. Times get tough. But it shouldn’t take a tragedy To inspire me to speak. You are not a stranger And you’re not at fault. I was a coward who just couldn’t find a cause, Just know that you belong. I was a statue with a pulse, A machine with bones, instead of bolts. “Forget and follow. Ignore tomorrow.” How could I call myself a man? An, empty, self indulgent mannequin, Who lost control. And everybody knows Keep your head up, Enough. Times get tough. But it shouldn’t take a tragedy To inspire me to speak. You are not a stranger And you’re not at fault. I was a coward who just couldn’t find a cause, Just know that you belong. Sometimes, letting go comes with ease I’ve never heard of holding on solving anything (You are not a stranger).
