《Eat My Words， Bite My Tongue》歌词

所属专辑：Consequences

时长： 05:30

Best to say nothing at all[00:00:50]

No shot from the hip[00:00:55]

You might say something appalling[00:01:02]

A confidence tripped off the tongue[00:01:08]

Better to keep the mouth zipped[00:01:19]

Your silence preserved[00:01:25]

Go through the night with your lips sealed[00:01:32]

For truth is best served by discretion[00:01:37]

Best to refrain[00:01:49]

Don't excuse or explain[00:01:52]

No engage that dull brain[00:01:55]

Before speaking[00:01:58]

I should have listened for once to my own advice[00:02:25]

I should have paid attention[00:02:33]

I was so eager to have my say[00:02:41]

I fell in love with the sound of my own d**n voice[00:02:45]

I never thought how offensive the line might seem[00:02:57]

If taken out of context[00:03:05]

My best intentions all fall away[00:03:13]

And it's no laughing matter[00:03:17]

Now I can't pack that jabberwock back in the box[00:03:21]

No way to take back the hasty phrase[00:03:44]

No chance to unspeak the sentence[00:03:52]

That hangs in the air[00:03:59]

Held up by the jaw dropped silence[00:04:03]

I know you're going to walk away[00:04:07]

Although I make my retraction[00:04:17]

It can't be unsaid[00:04:24]

And my foot's in my mouth for good[00:04:28]

Clearly I'd eat my words[00:04:33]

When all is said and done[00:04:42]

By now you'd think I might have learned[00:04:50]

To bite my tongue[00:05:13]
