Ashley Li - i know what you mean Lyrics

I've heard your laugh fill the room
Morph into sobs in the hardest times
I've watched you fight stigma
Grew thick skin; you don't hear them anymore

Pretend that you're fine, say that you will
Toss and turn in the night, don't rely on a pill
Believe you're okay, buy into the lies
Smile my way, doesn't reach your eyes

You can say what you want around me
Bitch and curse, don't explain, don't hold back
I know what you mean

You can say what you want around me
No apologizing
'Cause it won't change what you mean to me

I've seen you grow, trail the sky
A star that carries hope in the dark
I've listened to your words
Won them over, show them you will

Pretend that you're fine, say that you will
Toss and turn in the night, don't rely on a pill
Took time to cry, hold your head high
Now you're fine, have love on all sides

You can say what you want around me
Bitch and curse, don't explain, don't hold back
I know what you mean

You can say what you want around me
No apologizing
'Cause it won't change what you mean to me

But I know it's hard sometimes
When you don't know what's wrong or right

You can say what you want around me
Bitch and curse, don't explain, don't hold back
I know what you mean

You can say what you want around me
No apologizing
'Cause it won't change what you mean to me
