lyrics

the words I regret are the words left unsaid
like the time with the boys on the bus
kids can be mean when they’re feeling unseen
better the shoe than the bug

a bully, home broken
i still could have spoken
i could’ve done all that I could
and should I forgive him?
it’s not a decision
cause deep down I know that I should
deep down I know that I should

so open wide, starry-eyed
leading with your heart this time
name what you’ve always known
get it right, hell, say it twice
or save your face and spend your life
learning to leave it alone
learning to leave it alone

the thing about time is it changes its mind
you think you have more than enough
to say what you mean
to let water run clean
over old wounds you'd rather not touch

you’re not really ready
so you’re holding steady
say later but mean not now
when later finds you
those good years behind you
you’ll find yourself asking how
find yourself asking how

so open wide, starry-eyed
leading with your heart this time
name what you’ve always known
get it right, hell, say it twice
or save your face and spend your life
learning to leave it alone
learning to leave it alone

learning to leave it alone
learning to leave it alone
learning to leave it alone
