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 rewrite 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?
