I mention this in passing twice

I'll hold my tongue as long as nothing understood is nice

It's just my way to criticize

I understand a little less than maybe's wise



It really takes me down (I always lie to begin with)

It really takes me down (Everything's mine all along)

I promise not a sound (Say something that I'll remember)

'Cause it really takes me down (Something is turning out wrong)



I need convincing long before

I'll disregard a few things

I'll allow a few things more

It's all the time I can afford

Not to expect much in the way of our reward
