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)
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

All this time you got me wrong
And now I'm in this way too far
I'm about to break your heart
