Frank Turner - Hold Your Tongue lyrics

rate me

You've been pretty since the day that you were born<br />

So the roots of your beautiful hair<br />

Drew all the water that your body could hold<br />

So when your soul needed water, no water was there.<br />

<br />

You she'd words like so much dead skin<br />

They gather up like dust against walls<br />

They kick up when someone comes in<br />

So when they're looking for something they find nothing at all.<br />

<br />

Hold your goddamn tongue<br />

You forget yourself.<br />

How could I be the one<br />

If you're wrapped round someone else?<br />

<br />

And I really don't know which feels worse<br />

To be a fool or be with a liar.<br />

I just know that heart once soaked and cursed<br />

Is that much harder to set on fire.<br />

<br />

And I won't let this die<br />

Until I've seen you cry<br />

A single tear to show<br />

There's water in your soul.
