Verse:
If I don’t say anything it’s wrong
if I said it, it wouldn’t come out right
It’s been keeping me up all night
Half my life I’ve been told to shut up
so how am I gonna open up
wish you could just read my mind
Pre-chorus:
If I shared all of me would you run away
if I sugar coated what I had to say
in poetry would it make you stay
Chorus:
I wish I was born Bob Dylan
Had all the words to speak my feelings
I wish I stood up like Rosa Parks
and followed my heart
unafraid of the truth
even if I stood alone
I didn’t know how it was gonna go
even if the water was cold I’d take a deep breath
and get it off my chest
and hope for the best
Verse 2:
They say either way you win
if it’s mutual why hold it in
and it’s not meant to be
and you tell the truth it will set you free
but all their wisdom doesn’t help me now
I’m scared and I gotta find out
how to speak my mind
without metaphors and prose and rhymes
and still make you mine
Pre chorus 2:
I hope you know what I mean when I’m acting mean
cuz I don’t say what I mean when I’m caught in-between
and I’m afraid
the real you is eluding me
Chorus:
I wish I was born Bob Dylan
Had all the words to speak my feelings
I wish I stood up like Rosa Parks
and followed my heart
unafraid of the truth
even if I stood alone
I didn’t know how it was gonna go
even if the water was cold I’d take a deep breath
and get it off my chest
Bridge:
And hope you will catch
me when I fall
and love me back
when I show you my all
Fill in the blanks
if I’m not making sense
be patient with me
Chorus:
I wish I was born Bob Dylan
Had all the words to speak my feelings
I wish I stood up like Rosa Parks
and followed my heart
unafraid of the truth
even if I stood alone
I didn’t know how it was gonna go
even if the water was cold I’d take a deep breath
and get it off my chest
and hope for the best
Even if I stood alone
didn’t know how it was gonna go
gotta get it off my chest
and hope for the best
if I don’t say anything it’s wrong if I said it it wouldn’t come out right
