Maybe I shouldn't try to be perfect

I confess, I'm obsessed with the surface

In the end, if I fall or if I get it all

I just hope that it's worth it

Last year I fell flat on my face

And last month I knew somethin' should change

Last week I started over again

Ask me and I'll tell you how I've been

Mhm, don't get me started



[Chorus]

You've got me nervous to speak

So I just won't say anything at all

I've got an urge to release

And you keep tellin' me to hold on

You've got me nervous to move

So I just won't give anything to you

You got me turnin' all around to be who you need me to



[Verse 2]

Should I be quiet?

Uh, come on, be silent

Uh, you know I'm tryin'

So don't say nothin'

Uh, tell me you trust me and

Kiss me and hug me, yeah

Well, I would do anything for ya

You just gotta love me and

I got an itch in my throat

I don't know which way to go

I keep on switchin', I know

I need a different approach

It's all because I wanna

Show you that I'm so capable



[Chorus]

You've got me nervous to speak

So I just won't say anything at all

I've got an urge to release

And you keep tellin' me to hold on

You've got me nervous to move

So I just won't give anything to you

You got me turnin' all around to be who you need me to



[Refrain]

Hush, baby, don't you say another word

Hush, baby, don't you say another word, be quiet

Hush, baby, don't you say another word

Hush, baby, when you do, I just get hurt



[Verse 3]

Come on, baby, don't you hurt me anymore

I'm not the same way that I was before

I got goosebumps all over me

When you're around, hard for me to breathe

Come on, baby, don't you do that anymore

It's not like the days, at night, I feel so short

My nerves, they give me a sign

Tell me I'm not fine, mhm



[Chorus]

You've got me nervous to speak

So I just won't say anything at all

I've got an urge to release

And you keep tellin' me to hold on

You've got me nervous to move

So I just won't give anything to you

You got me turnin' all around to be who you need me to



[Refrain]

Hush, baby, don't you say another word

Hush, baby, don't you say another word, be quiet

Hush, baby, don't you say another word

Hush, baby, when you do, I just get hurt
