Prologue peak now or ‘S
forever hold your peace, ’ the words said by preachers at the end of wedding ceremonies all over the world, right before the vows. It’s a last chance for protest, a moment that makes everyone’s heart race, and a moment I’ve always been strangely fascinated by. So many fantasize about bursting into a church, saying what they’d kept inside for years like in the movies. In real life, it rarely happens. eal life is a funny thing, you know. In real life, saying R the right thing at the right moment is beyond crucial.
So crucial, in fact, that most of us start to hesitate, for fear of saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. But lately what I’ve begun to fear more than that is letting the moment pass without saying anything. think most of us fear reaching the end of our life, and I looking back regretting the moments we didn’t speak up.
W
ords can break someone into a million pieces, but they can also put them back together. I hope you use yours for good, because the only words you’ll regret more than the ones left unsaid are the ones you use to intentionally hurt someone. hat you say might be too much for some people. Maybe W it will come out all wrong and you’ll stutter and you’ll walk
away embarrassed, wincing as you play it all back in your head. But I think the words you stop yourself from saying are the ones that will haunt you the longest. o say it to them. Or say it to yourself in the mirror. S Say it in a letter you’ll never send or in a book millions
might read someday. I think you deserve to look back on your life without a chorus of resounding voices saying ‘I could’ve, but it’s too late now.’
When we didn’t say ‘I love you. ’ When we should’ve said ‘I’m sorry. ’ When we didn’t stand up for ourselves or someone who needed help.
here is a time for silence. There is a time waiting your T turn. But if you know how you feel, and you so clearly know
hese songs are made up of words I didn’t say when T the moment was right in front of me. These songs are
don’t think you should wait. I I speak now.
open letters. Each is written with a specific person in mind, telling them what I meant to tell them in person. To the beautiful boy whose heart I broke in December. To my first love who I never thought would be my first heartbreak. To my band. To a mean man I used to be afraid of. To someone who made my world very dark for a while. To a girl who stole something of mine. To someone I forgive for what he said in front of the whole world.
what you need to say, you’ll know it.
think you should
love,
PS: To all the boys who inspired this album,
you should’ve known. ;)
