Hush - Emeline

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
