If I Told You This Was Killing Me, Would You Stop? Lyrics

watch your mouth
hold your tongue, boy
because you're running out of breath,
running out of time
before every careless word that you utter
renders you utterly useless
now you're drowning in your own saliva
trying to speak yourself
to the top of your empty world
keep on talking, just keep on rambling
you've got your mouth full

now listen here's the pleasant part
you and i we fell apart
listen here's the pleasant part
you and i we fell apart

why can't you make up your mind?
(listen here's the pleasant part)
(you and i we fell apart)
why can't you make up your mind?
(listen here's the pleasant part)
(you and i we fell apart)

shut your mouth, burn your bridges
throw your words like an attack and
stab me in the, wait a second
wait a second what's that i just heard?
nevermind it's obviously worthless.
now you're standing on your soapbox
yelling from the rooftops (rooftops)
everything you say is a lie

now listen here's the clever one
who speaks before his thoughts are done
listen here's the clever one
who speaks before his thoughts are done

why can't you make up your mind?
(listen here's the clever one)
(who speaks before his thoughts are done)
why can't you make up your mind?
(listen here's the clever one)
(who speaks before his thoughts are done)

watch your mouth, hold your tongue
some things are better left unsaid

watch your mouth (now i hope you're pleased)
hold your tongue (you let your pride stand tall)
some things are better left unsaid (it danced within your words)
right before you fall
right before you

why don't you
why don't you say that to my face
i've had ripped down, torn down so many things
everything you, everytime you, every word you say
if i told you this was killing me,
would you, would you stop?
