Everything I Never Said (feat. Rachel Potter) - PattyCake/Rachel Potter
Lyrics by：Anthony Michael Wakim/Layne Stein
Composed by：Anthony Michael Wakim/Layne Stein
They painted my sky in a color they chose
Said follow the lines keep the real you composed
They wrote me a story with pages too small
They built me a castle surrounded by walls
They paved the road and they held the key
Told me exactly the me I should be
I once had the words tucked inside my mouth
But they tangle up now and I can't get them out
What if I'm more than the person they see
What if the words they say don't speak for me
What if my story begins with a fall
What if the rise was worth losing it all
Can you just let go of the life you know
Can you hear a voice if it's buried below
What if all that you are left with instead
Is everything
Everything
I never said
They built me a frame I could never outgrow
Dressed me in words they expected to show
They wrapped me in warnings
They told me to stay
But safety and silence both hurt the same way
I let them decide my story defined
So maybe it's time to rewrite one that's mine
I folded myself in to fit in the page
Now I'm tearing it out
And throwing it away
Maybe I'm more than the person they see
Maybe my truth doesn't ask for their key
Maybe the fall was just learning to fly
Maybe their limits were always a lie
Can you just let go of the life you know
You can hear the voice that's been buried below
What if I say what I want instead
Of everything
Everything
I never said
I'm done chasing answers that don't feel like mine
A story with pieces that just don't align
Caught between what you want and what you're taught
When all that you are's everything that you're not
Maybe a song is more than just words
Maybe I gave up my voice to be heard
What if I'm more than the person I've been
Maybe the ending starts where I begin
What if a voice is stronger than fear
And maybe the dream that I dream can start here
When you just let go of the life you know
You can find the voice that's been buried below
Maybe it's time for what I want instead
Of everything
Everything
Maybe you stumble but still know your way
Maybe you don't have the courage today
So maybe you whisper instead of a roar
But maybe that whisper can open the door
When you just outgrow
The life you know
Can you find your voice
Do you stay
Do you go
Maybe it's time my heart led instead
Of everything
Everything
I never said
