I'm sick of the small talk Faking the laughter But let's take a picture Let the world see, let the world know That I've met them all I'm sick of pretending That haters can't hurt me 'Cause goddamn it hurts But let the world think Let them all believe They got nothing on me And I try and I try and I try To make sense of this I've been quiet, too quiet, I'm tired, I'm tired Of holding it in Can we be a little louder A little less invisible Try a little harder Even when the spotlight's gone Can we be louder, louder Show them we're more than just numbers Louder, louder Louder, louder What's left of the stories Real conversations I don't see nobody Walking up straight, walking with their head held high I'm sick of illusions What happend to patience I wanna see faces Proud of their scars Showing off with who they really are And I try and I try and I try To see what's underneath I've been quiet, too quiet, I'm tired, I'm tired Of holding it in Can we be a little louder A little less invisible Try a little harder Even when the spotlight's gone Can we be louder, louder Show them we're more than just numbers Louder, louder Show them we're more than pretenders Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh Let us be louder, louder Let us try harder, harder Louder, Louder Let us try harder, harder I'm trying, trying To see what's underneath I've been quiet, too tired Of holding it in Can we be a little louder A little less invisible Try a little harder Even when the spotlight's gone Can we be louder, louder Show them we're more than just numbers Louder, louder Show them we're more than pretenders
