Lyric Code of Silence
Everybody s got a million questions
Everybody wants to know the score
What you went through
It s something you
Should be over now
Everybody wants to hear the secrets
That you never told a soul before
And it s not that strange
Because it wouldn t change
what happened anyhow
But you swore to yourself a long time ago
There were some things that people never needed to know
Guess there s one that you keep
That you bury so deep
No one can tear it out
And you can t talk about it
Because you re following a code of silence
You re never gonna to lose the anger
You just deal with it a different way
And you can t talk about it
And isn t that a kind of madness
To be living by a code of silence
When you ve really got a lot to say
You don t want to lose a friendship
There s nothing that you have to hide
And a little dirt
Couldn t hurt no one anyway
And you still have a rage inside you
That you carry with a certain pride
In the only part of the broken heart
That you could ever save
But you ve been through it once
You know how it ends
You don t see the point
Of going through it again
And this ain t the place
And this ain t the time
And neither s any other day
So you can t talk about it
Because you re following a code of silence
You re never gonna to lose the anger
You just deal with it a different way
So you can t talk about it
And isn t that a kind of madness
To be living by a code of silence
When you ve really got a lot to say
I know you well enough to tell you ve got your reasons
That s not the kind of code you re inclined to break
Some things unknown are best left alone forever
And if a vow is what it takes
Haven t you paid for your mistakes
After the moment passes
And the impulse disappears
You can still hold back
Because you don t crack very easily
It s a time honored resolution
Because the danger is always near
It s with you now
But that ain t how it was supposed to be
And it s hard to believe after all these years
That it still gives you pain and it still brings tears
And you feel like a fool
Because it s part of your rules
You ve got a memory
But you can t talk about it
Because you re following a code of silence
You re never gonna to lose the anger
You just deal with it a different way
But you can t talk about it
And isn t that a kind of madness
To be living by a code of silence
When you ve really got a lot to say
Everybody wants to know the score
What you went through
It s something you
Should be over now
Everybody wants to hear the secrets
That you never told a soul before
And it s not that strange
Because it wouldn t change

But you swore to yourself a long time ago
There were some things that people never needed to know

And isn t that a kind of madness
