Sober - Things You Can't Unsay

from SpinTunes 20 Round 1 by Spintunes

/

about

True story.

lyrics

Well I’m tired of fuckin round and finding out
Wish I’d think of that before I run my mouth
I’ve heard it’s better to be mute
And have folks think that you’re a fool
Than to speak up and remove all trace of doubt

All my memories of shame and regret
Been on account of something stupid that I said
All the times I raised my hand and put hollow thoughts to word
As if they really needed to be heard

There are things you can’t unsay
You can always start today
Save yourself a world of trouble before the words come tumbling out
Take the opportunity to shut your mouth

If I could go and tell my younger self one thing
I’d say you don’t have to be heard just to be seen
But maybe that would make things worse
Because I’m still using my words
Maybe in all this time I haven't learned a thing

Things could always be worse I expect
And quiet dignity is all that I have left
And the way you’ve been perceived
Is a thing you’ll always grieve
Though chances are that no one else would recollect
