Keep Your Mouth Shut

[Verse 1]
Another moon's coming up over the twenty-third district
He still hasn't called
Now your eyes scan the floor from the phone to the door
With nothing at all

So did he mean what he said when he turned and he left?
Is it true that he ain't coming back

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, the wicked world is waiting
To hear your tales from the black

[Chorus]
But keep your mouth shut, honey
Hold on to your story for tonight
Everybody's got an opinion
Nobody knows what it's like

Yeah, everybody's got an opinion
Nobody knows what it's like
Nobody knows what it's like

[Verse 2]
It seems they love to watch you hover
From one heartache to anothеr
It keeps them alive

Still, in times likе these
One can only duck and cover
If you wanna survive

When every voice that you hear's screaming words of advice
It can feel like you're under attack

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, the wicked world is waiting
To hear your tales from the black

[Chorus]
But keep your mouth shut, honey
Hold on to your story for tonight
Everybody's got an opinion
Nobody knows what it's like

Everybody's got an opinion
Nobody knows what it's like
Nobody knows what it's like
Nobody knows what it's like
Ooh, nobody knows what it's like

[Verse 3]
Is it hell, does it hurt
Do you have what it takes
Will your heart ever heal from the crack

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, the wicked world is waiting
To hear your tales from the black

[Chorus]
But keep your mouth shut, honey
Hold on to your story for tonight
Everybody's got an opinion
Nobody knows what it's like

Everybody's got an opinion
Nobody knows what it's like
Nobody knows what it's like
Nobody knows what it's like
Nobody knows what it's like
Nobody knows what it's like
