Lyrics Hush - Emeline

Hush

Don’t tell me to act like a lady
Then go 'round 'round treating me like a baby
I don’t like how you use that phrase
I’m tired of being erased
From the things that I already said
So listen up, punk
I’m tired of being told to speak louder
Then being told to hush up when I do
I’m done with the fucking contradictions, too
I’m done with people turning their heads
when I cuss
'Cause my face is too fragile, my age
It’s a must that I
I hush hush hush hush
But I don’t wanna hush
In fact I wanna scream
from the top of my lungs
I wanna be something so they’ll say
She’s something special
Maybe I just want someone to listen
So listen to me now
Hush, hush, hush, hush
A little louder this time
'Cause I’m now singing no more hushing, bye
Don’t wanna smile,
'cause I’m feeling down today
Not always down to go out and play
I just want to spend the day
By my own side today
Don’t care if you think that’s okay
So now I’m conceited or I’m insecure
There’s no in between
I am hood or I’m a who (re)--(hol)ding
on to who I am
So look around and ask why I frown
Well you make me wanna scream
from the top of my lungs
I wanna be something so they’ll say
She’s something special
Maybe I just want someone to listen
So listen to me now
Hush hush, hush hush
A little louder this time
Hush hush hush hush
A little louder every time
'Cause I’m now singing no more hushing, bye
Bye-bye
Bye-bye
Hush hush, hush hush
Hush hush
Bye-bye
Bye-bye
Bye-bye
Hush hush, hush hush
Bye-bye
Whoa…
'Cause you make me wanna (hush) scream
from the top of my lungs
I wanna be something so they’ll say
She’s something special
Maybe I just want someone to listen
So listen to me now
Listen, I wanna scream
from the top of my lungs
I wanna be something so they’ll say
She’s something special
Maybe I just want someone to listen
So listen to me now
Hush hush hush hush
A little louder this time
Hush hush hush hush
A little louder every time
But I’m not hushing no more
