[Lyric] Contagious (Hannah Byers)

[Verse One]
My mind is a place I wouldn't wish upon my worst enemy
I try so hard to make sure you don't see the dark side of me

[Pre-Chorus]
In my absence you'll thrive
Like a star you shine bright
I would only bring you down

[Chorus]
I keep my mouth shut because I'm contagious
But if I conceal my thoughts I will not make it
My heart wants to tell you everything
My gut is screaming hold it in
Keep my mouth shut 'cause I'm contagious

[Verse Two]
I met a boy who told me he'd take his life if I said goodbye
Take his life if I said goodbye
How am I not supposed to feel like all the blame is mine?
I was in a morose state; I just let all my words slip away
Now I fear my own power; shadows hang over me each day
[Pre-Chorus]
In my absence you'll thrive
Like a star you shine bright
I would only bring you down

[Chorus]
I keep my mouth shut because I'm contagious
But if I conceal my thoughts I will not make it
My heart wants to tell you everything
My gut is screaming hold it in
Keep my mouth shut 'cause I'm contagious

[Bridge]
Your smile's pure I'd only taint it
Chemically imbalanced I cannot change this
My hands off the wheel I've lost control
My teenage years my mind has stole
Keep my mouth shut 'cause I'm contagious

[Chorus]
I keep my mouth shut because I'm contagious
But if I conceal my thoughts I will not make it
My heart wants to tell you everything
My gut is screaming hold it in
Keep my mouth shut 'cause I'm contagious
