Cut Off My Tongue

Saturday noon it was
When you called and canceled our night plans
I gave you my biggest smile
You said "I'm sorry", I said "It's fine"

Why didn't you look for me
Thought we were playing Hide and Seek
Instead I had to play alone
One time, two times, three in a row

"Guess I'll stay home again
My room's my happy place"
But then the sea came through
And my whole house turned to blue

I shut the window dripping salt
But the flood was raging from inside
The neighbors started to complain
"Why are we all swimming in rain?"

My house was soon for sale
A shortcut, no words to say
I sold my voice and quill
You'll find them in the antiques

Biting my lip until it bleeds
And I feel it between my teeth
Cut off my tongue until it falls
And I don't have to speak no more
Biting my lip until it bleeds
And I feel it between my teeth
Cut off my tongue until it falls
It won't be four times in a row

I'm cruel enough
To sell my words, my feelings and my love
But you're cynic enough
To buy me and not return me when you're done

I'm cruel enough
(Cut off my tongue until it falls
It won't be four times in a row)
To sell my words, my feelings and my love
Just come back
(Cut off my tongue until it falls
It won't be four times in a row)
And I'll cut off my tongue so I
And I'll cut off my tongue so I
I'll cut off my tongue so I
And I'll cut off my tongue so I shut up
