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
