Shut Me Up Lyrics
[Intro: Mr. Ray Morrissey, Iris & Eddy Crane]
If he's anything like, uh—
Oh, come on, Pops! Eddy can sing rings around any of 'em!
He can sing better than any of 'em—
Shut up, Iris
But I just wanted—
You hear what I said?
[Verse 1]
I'll write you novels in notes
That you'll never know
But I'll just keep tryin' my best
I'll keep them all to myself
Stacked tall on the shelf
'Cause I don't even know your address
[Pre-Chorus]
And you'll never hear
All I wanted to tell you that day
And every day after
Since you stole my voice away
[Chorus]
So shut me up, shut me up
You'll never hear from me again
My lips are sealed, lips are sealed
And you still got glue on your hands
Shut me up, shut me up
You'll never hear from me again
My lips are sealed, lips are sealed
And you still got glue on your hands
[Verse 2]
You made it too hard to swallow this
Readin' old messages
Actin' like they're all brand new
Tryin' to travel through time
I think I lost my mind
On the morning that I lost you
[Pre-Chorus]
And you'll never hear
All I wanted to tell you that day
And every day after
Since you stole my voice away
[Chorus]
So shut me up, shut me up
You'll never hear from me again
My lips are sealed, lips are sealed
And you still got glue on your hands
Shut me up, shut me up
You'll never hear from me again
My lips are sealed, lips are sealed
And you still got glue on your hands
[Bridge]
I’ll write you novels in notes
You don't wanna know
But I just can't help but try
I'll pay the postage in sin
Mail it out with the wind
'Cause I never could tell you goodbye
[Chorus]
So shut me up (Shut me up)
Shut me up (Shut me up)
You'll never hear from me again (Oh woah, oh)
My lips are sealed (Lips are sealed)
Lips are sealed (Lips are sealed)
And you still got glue on your hands (Hands)
Shut me up (Shut me up)
Shut me up (Shut me up)
You'll never hear from me again (Never hear from me again)
My lips are sealed (Lips are sealed)
Lips are sealed (Lips are sealed)
And you still got glue on your hands
