verse
It's the sick to your stomach feeling with a smile on your face
It's the memory you ignore, but you can't erase
It's the text in the middle of the night you didn't ask for
It could help your career, but at what cost?
Are you holding back something that you're dying to say?
verse
It's the room full of rumors and everybody's staring
Did they tell you, "You were asking for it" by what you were wearing?
It's the stains from your makeup and tears on your pillow
It's a piece of yourself that you let go
Do you want to scream but just can't find the air?
bridge
They say step up and sit down
And shut up and back down
So, what's up, yeah, what's up with that?
So, we dress up, get felt up
Get shot down, don't speak up
Yeah, what's up, yeah, what's up with that?
Are you holding back something that you've just been dying to say?
