Backstory:

This song came out of the 2011 Beat the Heat Challenge. Sharon came up with the first draft of the lyrics and I the melody; later, through several rewrites/changes/tweaks, the version uploaded here emerged. Regrettably, the demo production is in home work tape shape. Hope you can still enjoy! [Lyrics are from Version 3 rewrite]

Lyrics:

                                                  
Verse 1:
It’s the same old thing over and over
You come home from hangin' out with your friends
You put your feet up and ask ‘what’s for dinner’
That's where my patience ends
I make excuses for how you behave
I must tell you, I gotta be brave

Chorus:
But then I Bite My Tongue, I hide the way I feel
This cannot go on, it just wasn’t the deal
When we said forever, I was much too young
I had no clue I’d have to Bite My Tongue

Verse 2:
I want to start a family, it's time to grow up
Gotta save our cash, no more partying every night
You put up a fight and act like a child
I'm starting to see you in a new light 
I make excuses for how you behave
I must tell you, I gotta be brave

Chorus:
But then I Bite My Tongue, I hide the way I feel
This cannot go on, it just wasn’t the deal
When we said forever, I was much too young
I had no clue I’d have to Bite My Tongue

Bridge:
You’ve made your last mistake
It's time to end this show
I can’t hold back anymore
I’ve got to let it go… ‘cause

Revised Chorus:
I can’t Bite My Tongue, or hide the way I feel
This cannot go on, it just wasn’t the deal
When we said forever, I was much too young
Now I know better than to Bite My Tongue
Now I know better than to Bite My, Bite My, Bite My Tongue
