Shut Me Up
Shut me up quiet, you do
Love me and leave me, would you?
Twist me up, tickled inside
When everybody's outside
Everybody's outside
When somebody needs to listen
When somebody needs to talk
There's safety in silence here
When I won't feel so sure
Tie me up tightly, you do
Afraid that I'll get out, are you?
Wicked and watchful inside
Different on the outside
You're different on the outside
When somebody needs to listen
When somebody needs to talk
There's safety in silence here
When I won't feel so sure
Thoughts keep dripping and
I keep falling now
Something has to give
The sooner, the better now
Thoughts keep dripping and
Words keep falling now
Something has to give
The sooner, the better now
Keep me up wired, you do
Cornered and frightened of you
Cut up till I'm terrified
Laughing on the outside
Laughter's always outside
When somebody needs to listen, do you?
When somebody needs to talk
There's safety in silence here
When I won't feel so sure
Shut me up silent, you do
I want to be safe inside of you
Stripped until I'm petrified
I'm never going outside
Never going outside
Hey
Oh the sooner, the better now
The sooner, the better now
I'm never going outside
Never going outside
The sooner, the better now
