Frank Turner - Hold Your Tongue lyrics
[Frank Turner - Hold Your Tongue lyrics]
You've been pretty since the day
That you were born
So the roots of your beautiful hair
Drew all the water that your body could hold
So when your soul needed water
No water was there
You shed words like so much dead skin
They gather up like dust against walls
They kick up when someone comes in
So when they're looking for something
They find nothing at all
Hold your goddamn tongue you forget yourself
How could I be the one
If you're wrapped 'round someone else?
And I really don't know which feels worse
To be a fool or be with a liar
I just know that heart once soaked and cursed
Is that much harder to set on fire
And I won't let this die
Until I've seen you cry
A single tear to show
There's water in your soul
That you were born
So the roots of your beautiful hair
Drew all the water that your body could hold
So when your soul needed water
No water was there
You shed words like so much dead skin
They gather up like dust against walls
They kick up when someone comes in
So when they're looking for something
They find nothing at all
Hold your goddamn tongue you forget yourself
How could I be the one
If you're wrapped 'round someone else?
And I really don't know which feels worse
To be a fool or be with a liar
I just know that heart once soaked and cursed
Is that much harder to set on fire
And I won't let this die
Until I've seen you cry
A single tear to show
There's water in your soul
