Don't Go There (for S)

Silent observer I notice you're watching
What can you read from my sullen regard
How would you feel if I told you my secrets
I won't
We already know
How that story goes
It's better we don't go there
I have been known to fool round at the party
Muddy the mood with my idiot jokes
I can be careless dress up as the clown
But I won't
We already know
How that evening goes
It's better we don't go there

You might think that I'm sharing too much
I promise you this it's never enough
To win over a lover or even a friend
So should I shut up or just let it spill out again

Boy are you dumb or just asking for trouble
I know I must give off a curious vibe
You could just leave it and pour me a double
You won't
We already know
Where this story goes
It's better we don't go there

You might think that I'm sharing too much
I promise you this it's still not enough
To re-write the past on my buckling skin
So will I shut up or just let it spill out again

We all dream of travelling light
But my body's a map of hard times
So now when you roll back the sheets
Will you see my past or will you see me

You might think that I'm sharing too much
A body's a body - we all need to be touched
Let me off light yeah you knew I'd give in
I can't shut up
Here it comes flying out again
You might think that I'm sharing too much
I promise you this it's never enough
To win over a lover or even a friend
So should I shut up or just let it spill out again
