I'm not going to say
What I don't want you to hear
I'd rather bite my tongue
Out of either discipline or fear
When that's enough
I'll bite my cheek and my lip
Anything is better
Than letting something slip
The pain in my mouth
Will never be as strong
As the pain in my heart
When I say something wrong
And of course you would notice
My silence and biting
But you can't see
How hard I'm fighting
Words are too powerful
And I have too many left unsaid
But I'd rather die
Than let them out of my head
So you can announce
That I'm chewing my cheek
But you won't be the one
To make me speak
