Speak Out (Acoustic)

(专辑： High School Musical: The Musical: The Series (The Final Season) - 2023)

I call my dad, but never talk
Can't ever say quite what I want
No, it's never enough, never enough
When the words just don't add up
So I call my dad, and never talk
I'm so sick of my past breaking me like glass
Shackled by my emotion

I keep saying I'll change, keep staying the same
Can't seem to let it go, so

Speak up, speak out
I'm screaming now but I don't make a sound, no
Gotta get up, go now
Don't wait for the moment just to keep missing out, yeah
All my excuses, I overuse 'em every time I open my mouth
For all the times I never knew how
To speak up, I, I'll speak out

My walls, they know the worst of it
Sometimes we gotta knock 'em down
I wish they could say the things I can't admit
Just gotta let it out
Tongue-tied, kept my lips shut, forget it, so what?
Now I gotta face the feeling

I keep saying I'll change, keep staying the same
Can't seem to let it go, so

Speak up, speak out
I'm screaming now but I don't make a sound, no
Gotta get up, go now
Don't wait for the moment just to keep missing out, yeah
All my excuses, I overuse 'em every time I open my mouth
For all the times I never knew how
To speak up, I, I'll speak out

Don't wanna walk away from this
Don't wanna be a sinking ship
The anchor on my tongue won't let me slip
Don't wanna waste a moment more
Don't know what I've been waiting for
I'll never get a chance like this again

So speak up, speak out
I'm screaming now but I don't make a sound
Gotta get up, go now
Don't wait for the moment just to keep missing out, yeah
All my excuses, I overuse 'em every time I open my mouth
For all the times I never knew how
Speak up, I'll speak out
