Hold My Tongue
Silent Confessions: Unveiling Emotions in Better Livvin's 'Hold My Tongue'
Lyrics
Coming of the age
Expressing the transition into adulthood.
Barely brand new
Just starting out, new to the world.
Affection on display
Showcasing affection openly.
Like a tattoo
Comparing affection to a permanent mark, like a tattoo.
A kid who loved to be someone you're after
Describing a person who enjoyed being the object of pursuit.
Couldn't help it
Acknowledging a lack of control over certain feelings or actions.
I just want to feel the light, bottle the laughter
Expressing a desire for joy and capturing moments of happiness.
Do you like what you see?
Prompting an inquiry about one's appearance or character.
Oh god...
An exclamation expressing surprise or intensity.
Would it make you happier
Asking if revealing a mistake would bring happiness.
If I told you I was wrong
Considering confession and admission of wrongdoing.
I know how I feel, but I'll hold my tongue
Acknowledging personal feelings but choosing to remain silent.
She whispered to me in a dream last night
Recalling a dream where someone speaks softly or privately.
Sticking by your side, I got you
Commitment to staying by someone's side.
But I'll be fine if my dreams don't last cause this too shall pass it's so true
Finding resilience even if dreams do not materialize.
When I miss you the most, pretend that I don't
Pretending not to miss someone when it hurts the most.
I just gotta hold my tongue til I get there
Committing to silence until reaching a certain point or goal.
Would it make you happier
Repeating the question about revealing a mistake for increased happiness.
If I told you I was wrong
Revisiting the idea of admitting a mistake but choosing silence.
I know how I feel, but I'll hold my tongue
Reiterating the decision to hold back personal feelings.
Would it make you love me more
Wondering if sharing creative work would enhance love.
If I played you all my songs
Pondering whether playing music would deepen a connection.
Feel like I could scream but I'll hold my tongue
Feeling an urge to express oneself but choosing restraint.
Someday gonna make you proud
Expressing a future aspiration to make someone proud.
Someday gonna get this out
Anticipating a future achievement or revelation.
Would it make you happier
Repeating the question about admitting a mistake for happiness.
If I told you I was wrong
Restating the decision to keep personal feelings to oneself.
I know how I feel, but I'll hold my tongue
Reiterating the choice to remain silent about inner emotions.
Would it make you love me more
Revisiting the idea of sharing creative output for love.
If I played you all my songs
Contemplating the impact of sharing personal creations.
Feel like I could scream but I'll hold my tongue
Desiring to express frustration but choosing to hold back.
