Since I was a kid 

I’ve watched what I’ve said 

My tongue’s cut and swollen 

From all the times I’ve bit 

I held everything in 

Played dumb 

I did 

Now everyone’s sayin’ 

She’s so out of it 

But I know much more than I let on 



They talk behind my back 

I don’t react 

The world is just a train 

And I’m the tracks 

But when they least expect 

I’ll speak at last 

They’ll all turn and ask 

“How did you know that?” 

And I’ll say, “I know much more than I let on”
