Code Of Silence - Billy Joel[00:00:00]
Everybody's got a million questions[00:00:27]
Everybody wants to know the score[00:00:30]
What you went through[00:00:33]
It's something you[00:00:35]
Should be over now[00:00:36]
Everybody wants to hear the secrets[00:00:39]
That you never told a soul before[00:00:42]
And it's not that strange[00:00:46]
Because it wouldn't change[00:00:47]
What happened anyhow[00:00:48]
But you swore to yourself a long time ago[00:00:52]
There were some things that people[00:00:55]
Never needed to know[00:00:56]
Guess there's one that you keep[00:00:58]
That you bury so deep[00:00:59]
No one can tear it out[00:01:01]
And you can't talk about it[00:01:04]
Because you're following a code of silence[00:01:07]
You're never gonna to lose the anger[00:01:10]
You just deal with it a different way[00:01:13]
And you can't talk about it[00:01:16]
And isn't that a kind of madness[00:01:19]
To be living by a code of silence[00:01:22]
When you've really got a lot to say[00:01:25]
You don't want to lose a friendship[00:01:30]
There's nothing that you have to hide[00:01:33]
And a little dirt[00:01:36]
Couldn't hurt no one anyway[00:01:37]
And you still have a rage inside you[00:01:42]
That you carry with a certain pride[00:01:45]
In the only part of the broken heart[00:01:48]
That you could ever save[00:01:51]
But you've been through it once[00:01:54]
You know how it ends[00:01:56]
You don't see the point[00:01:57]
Of going through it again[00:01:58]
And this ain't the place[00:02:00]
And this ain't the time[00:02:01]
And neither's any other day[00:02:03]
So you can't talk about it[00:02:06]
Because you're following a code of silence[00:02:09]
You're never gonna to lose the anger[00:02:12]
You just deal with it a different way[00:02:15]
So you can't talk about it[00:02:18]
And isn't that a kind of madness[00:02:21]
To be living by a code of silence[00:02:24]
When you've really got a lot to say[00:02:27]
I know you well enough to tell[00:02:32]
You've got your reasons[00:02:35]
That's not the kind of code[00:02:38]
You're inclined to break[00:02:40]
Some things unknown are best left alone forever[00:02:44]
And if a vow is what it takes[00:02:50]
Haven't you paid for your mistakes[00:02:53]
After the moment passes[00:03:12]
And the impulse disappears[00:03:14]
You can still hold back[00:03:17]
Because you don't crack very easily[00:03:19]
It's a time honored resolution[00:03:24]
Because the danger is always near[00:03:26]
It's with you now[00:03:29]
But that ain't how it was supposed to be[00:03:31]
And it's hard to believe after all these years[00:03:36]
That it still gives you pain[00:03:39]
And it still brings tears[00:03:41]
And you feel like a fool[00:03:42]
Because in spite of your rules[00:03:43]
You've got a memory[00:03:45]
But you can't talk about it[00:03:48]
Because you're following a code of silence[00:03:51]
You're never gonna to lose the anger[00:03:54]
You just deal with it a different way[00:03:57]
But you can't talk about it[00:04:00]
And isn't that a kind of madness[00:04:03]
To be living by a code of silence[00:04:06]
When you've really got a lot to say[00:04:09]
