If My Tongue Could Talk

If My Tongue Could Talk

Reason (The)
(album: Things Couldn´t Be Better)

This tongue in me won´t sing, won´t speak
These lungs won´t breathe
And it´s getting to me
Those eyes can´t see what´s inside me
They try, but they can´t get it out
And it burns
And it permeates on the tip of my tongue
Not a liar, though I wish I was one
If I could sing these words, one thing
It burns, it stings
And it´s moving through me
So I decide to keep it inside
Hold tight. Hold it ´til it´s too late
So spit it out!
As it permeates
As it suffocates me
On the tip of my tongue
As it burns
I can´t breathe
So it turns
And it suffocates in what´s left of my lungs
And it burns
And it permeates on what´s left of the tip of my tongue
Not a liar, though I wish I was one
I can´t speak
