Speak Less, Listen More

[Verse 1]

You say you know the truth, but you never ask why

You talk like thunder, but your facts don’t fly

Every word a weapon, every pause a war

But wisdom doesn’t shout—it opens the door

[Pre-Chorus]

You build your walls with feelings, not with stone

But feelings aren’t facts when you stand alone

[Chorus]

Grow up, speak less, listen more

Let silence teach what pride ignores

Truth don’t bend for your belief

It waits in quiet, not in grief

Grow up, speak less, listen more

That’s what grown-ups are for

[Verse 2]

You frame your pain like gospel, but it’s just a frame

You dodge the data, play the blame game

But grown-ups know that ego’s cheap

And real respect runs quiet and deep

[Pre-Chorus]

You can’t debate with empty hands

You need more than feelings to understand

[Chorus]

Grow up, speak less, listen more

Let silence teach what pride ignores

Truth don’t bend for your belief

It waits in quiet, not in grief

Grow up, speak less, listen more

That’s what grown-ups are for

[Bridge]

It’s not weakness to admit you’re wrong

It’s not silence when you hear the song

Of someone else who’s lived and learned

And earned the truth you never earned

[Final Chorus]

Grow up, speak less, listen more

Let silence teach what pride ignores

Truth don’t bend for your belief

It waits in quiet, not in grief

Grow up, speak less, listen more

That’s what grown-ups are for

Would you like help setting this to chords or building a visual or video concept around it? I can also adapt it to a specific genre—spoken word, indie folk, cinematic, or even synth-pop.
