lyrics

I spoke too soon
Too quickly
Said too much
A little too loud
Came across too eager
Kind of headstrong
Slightly careless
Somewhat proud

I spoke without thinking
Without breathing
Without taking
A pause
I spoke without reason
Without wisdom
Without knowing
Anything at all

I spoke too soon
I spoke too soon

I spoke out of anger
Out of envy
Self-loathing
Out of spite
I spoke out of turn
So out of line
Standing out of frame
Well out of sight

I spoke with my voice raised
With my eyes closed
With my hands clenched
Into fists
With my back turned
With my head bowed
I spoke in short starts
And fits

I spoke too soon
I spoke too soon

I spoke through a keyhole
Through a proxy
Through my teeth
Gritted tight
I spoke through the previews
Through the movie
To the man
Sitting on my right

I spoke to the cops
I spoke to the press
I spoke to a lawyer
I spoke to my ex
I spoke out in fear
Sheer terror
I spoke to a stranger
Looking back in the mirror



I spoke to the birds
I spoke to my cat
I spoke to the trees
They never spoke back
I spoke with a lisp
I spoke with a stutter
I spoke well and truly
With my mind in the gutter

I spoke in my sleep
I spoke in the shower
I spoke with the devil
Or some higher power
I spoke with an angel
Like a sinner
I spoke with my mouth full
All throughout dinner

I spoke too soon
I spoke too soon

I spoke way too soon
Before I knew
That hearts could break
What words could do

Yeah, I said it
And I meant it
And I sure as hell
Lived to regret it

I spoke too soon
I spoke too soon
I spoke too soon
