Bottled up

Tori Kelly

Yeah, yeah

This is a story of a girl broken-hearted
 Messed up her head, she's so guarded
 Don't get me started, whoa
 It's cause of you that I got this thick skin
 I don't wanna let nobody in
 All the pain just stayed in place
 And I kept it all tucked away for so long, so long, so long, oh

[Chorus:]
 I just wanna yell
 And I just wanna throw it all in your face
 It's silly that I've always felt this way
 You'd never know
 I just wanna yell
 You know that I can only take so much
 And I don't wanna keep it bottled up anymore, anymore
 Whoa oh oh oh, whoa oh oh oh
 Whoa, I don't wanna keep it bottled up

I was there, hanging on by a string
 Trying to give you my everything
 Yeah, that's what they all sing, yeah
 You don't know what you put me through
 Trying so hard just to prove to you
 That I got something to say
 But I kept it all tucked away for so long, so long, so long, oh

[Chorus:]
 But now I just wanna yell
 I just wanna throw it all in your face
 It's silly that I've always felt this way
 But you'd never know, oh oh
 I just wanna yell
 You know that I can only take so much
 And I don't wanna keep it bottled up anymore, anymore
 Whoa oh oh oh, whoa oh oh oh, yeah
 Whoa, anymore
 Whoa oh oh oh, whoa oh oh oh
 Whoa oh oh oh oh, uh yeah

I never talked about the way I really felt
 You put my heart through hell, thought you knew me so well
 But, uh-uh, just waiting for me to fail
 But I'm doing the opposite and I can't wait to tell the whole world
 You're the one you said would eat me up
 Remember when I told you that I wasn't good enough?
 And yes, started to believe you, I felt like giving up
 Left me with a dream crushed and your empty words stuck to me
 I didn't wanna ever feel like that again
 So I locked up any kind of emotion, but
 I got the keys and I'm ready now
 Set the caged bird free, time to let it out

[Chorus:]
 I just wanna yell, yeah
 This way, yeah, you never know
 I just wanna yell
 You know that I can only take so much
 I don't wanna keep it bottled up anymore, anymore
 Whoa oh oh oh, oh oh, yeah
 Keep it bottled up, I don't wanna keep it bottled up, anymore
 Yeah, yeah
 I don't wanna keep it bottled up anymore
 No more, no more
