Lyrics

Sew My Mouth Shut

[Verse 1]

You say you've had enough of this

I don't believe you, you idiot

This is a letter to myself

'Cause everyone knows I can't be helped

I can't be helped

Sew my mouth shut so I can't say a word

It just gets me in trouble, trouble I'm not worth

Sew my mouth shut so I can't even breathe

What would life be like without me?

Has your blood run cold overnight?

Twelve months of breathing beneath your lies

There's one you haven't told me yet

But I know about it and how this ends

There's blood in the wake of you and me

Sew my mouth shut so I can't say a word

It just gets me in trouble, trouble I'm not worth

Sew my mouth shut so I can't even breathe

What would life be like without me?

What would life be like without me?

Poison my lungs so I'm just left to wheeze

You just get me in trouble, trouble I can't believe

Just pull me up and make sure you don't drop me

I never could believe

Sew my mouth shut so I can't say a word

It just gets me in trouble, trouble I'm not worth

Sew my mouth shut so I can't even breathe

What would life be like without me?

Sew my mouth shut so I can't say a word

It just gets me in trouble, trouble I'm not worth

Sew my mouth shut so I can't even breathe

What would life be like without me?

What would life be like without me?
