Lyrics Silence You - Hayley Orrantia

Silence You

You are not everybody’s expectations
You’re not just the cards you’re dealt
You aren’t a product of your generation
You are what you make yourself
Take all that you’re afraid to say
Post it up and put it on display
You don’t have to play nice now
Stay held down
Shut up and keep your quiet
Don’t have to take the easy way out
Follow the in-crowd
Stand up and make a riot
Nothing’s gonna change if you won’t
No, nothing’s gonna change if you don’t
It’ll be the hardest thing you’ll ever have to do
But, don’t let them silence you
When you look back on this moment
You’ll wish you’d spoken your mind
Step up to the plate and own it
Instead of blending in the sidelines
Take all that you’re afraid to be
Light it up for everyone to see
You don’t have to play nice now
Stay held down
Shut up and keep your quiet
Don’t have to take the easy way out
Follow the in-crowd
Stand up and make a riot
Nothing’s gonna change if you won’t
No, nothing’s gonna change if you don’t
It’ll be the hardest thing you’ll ever have to do
But, don’t let them silence you
And when we’re gone
Our words live on
So don’t let them silence (silence)
Silence (silence), oh, you
You don’t have to play nice now
Stay held down
Shut up and keep your quiet
Don’t have to take the easy way out
Follow the in-crowd
Stand up and make a riot
Nothing’s gonna change if you won’t
No, nothing’s gonna change if you don’t
It’ll be the hardest thing you’ll ever have to do
But, don’t let them silence you
No, don’t let them silence you
