I've gotta find a way to loosen up

I'm wound tighter than a magnet's coil



The longer I try to keep my mouth shut

The sooner little brain is gonna boil



And if you turn back, just to fuck me up

I'll cut you loose and watch you fall



It feels good just to bitch about it

Scratch that itch until it bleeds



But I don't really want to lose you

And does it all depend on me?



It's always personal between us

But you won't say what's on your mind



If you like to see me so defensive

I'll know I've made another enemy



Nobody wants another mirror on their fears

I guess that's all you are to me



And I don't really want to lose this

And I can't play the silent game



It's always personal between us

You won't say what's on your mind



Case when I talk the silence follows

You won't say what's on your mind

What's on your mind
