Mouth Shut

The Veronicas · The Veronicas Complete [2009]

I kept my mouth shut from the start

I guess I left you in the dark

You thought you knew me but you don't

You say you love me but you won't

When you find out who I am



I kept my mouth shut for too long

All this time you got me wrong

And now I'm in this way too far

I'm about to break your heart

Tear everything we had apart



Coz I'm feeling lost

When I'm in your arms

The reasons are gone

For why I was holding onto you

I tried so hard

To be the one (be the one)

I don't like who I've become



Won't keep my mouth shut any more

I've had my share of closing doors

And now I know I'm not afraid

I know exactly what you'll say

But I'm sorry it's too late



Coz I'm feeling lost

When I'm in your arms

The reasons are gone

For why I was holding onto you

I tried so hard

To be the one (be the one)

I don't like who I've become



Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I kept it all inside of me for all this time

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Thought that I could make it work if I just tried

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

But I'm sorry to admit that I have lived a lie



Coz I'm feeling lost

When I'm in your arms (Arms)

The reasons are gone (Gone)

For why I was holding onto you (Holding On On)

I tried so hard (Hard)

To be the one (be the one)

I don't like who I've become



I've kept my mouth shut for too long

And now I know that it was wrong

I wish I told you from the start

That this was never meant to last

We should've never gone this far



Won't keep my mouth shut any more

(won't keep my mouth shut any more)
