Tongue Behind My Teeth - The Staves

Tongue Behind My Teeth LRC歌词

I know where you’re going
And I see where you’ve been
Patience is a virtue
And mine with you is wearing thin
It’s easy to sit and wait
Speak with words you’ve stolen
From better men than you
Doors they helped you open
In time will cease to let you through
Is it easy to stand and sigh?
Bid another friend goodbye
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Lights can shine too bright, dear,
nobody can see
Hide safe behind your light, dear,
But understand it won’t blind me
And I know it would do no good,
But I’d hurt you if I could
Oh,
See my eyes,
Oh,
Open wide,
Oh,
Speak up now,
Oh,
Or hold your peace forever and be done
Eyes down, door closed
Keep quiet, growing old
I know you, I see you
Cling to, the road you ride on
Homeless, more or less
Skin and bone, on your own
I’ll be alright, I’m doing fine
Keep my tongue behind my
Teeth and, get gone
You never were anyone
Keep your words, keep your mind
I’ll keep my tongue behind my teeth
Tongue behind my teeth
And I know it would do no good,
But I’d hurt you if I could
Oh
