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 [bad word] me up
I'll cut you loose and watch you fall

It feels good just to [bad word] 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
