Code Of Silence

<br>Everybody`s got a million questions<br>Everybody wants to know the score<br>What you went through<br>It`s something you<br>Should be over now<br><br>Everybody wants to hear the secrets<br>That you never told a soul before<br>And it`s not that strange<br>Because it wouldn`t change<br>what happened anyhow<br><br>But you swore to yourself a long time ago<br>There were some things that people never needed to know<br>Guess there`s one that you keep<br>That you bury so deep<br>No one can tear it out<br><br>And you can`t talk about it<br>Because you`re following a code of silence<br>You`re never gonna to lose the anger<br>You just deal with it a different way<br><br>And you can`t talk about it<br>And isn`t that a kind of madness<br>To be living by a code of silence<br>When you`ve really got a lot to say<br><br>You don`t want to lose a friendship<br>There`s nothing that you have to hide<br>And a little dirt<br>Couldn`t hurt no one anyway<br><br>And you still have a rage inside you<br>That you carry with a certain pride<br>In the only part of the broken heart<br>That you could ever save<br><br>But you`ve been through it once<br>You know how it ends<br>You don`t see the point<br>Of going through it again<br>And this ain`t the place<br>And this ain`t the time<br>And neither`s any other day<br><br>So you can`t talk about it<br>Because you`re following a code of silence<br>You`re never gonna to lose the anger<br>You just deal with it a different way<br><br>So you can`t talk about it<br>And isn`t that a kind of madness<br>To be living by a code of silence<br>When you`ve really got a lot to say<br><br>I know you well enough to tell you`ve got your reasons<br>That`s not the kind of code you`re inclined to break<br>Some things unknown are best left alone forever<br>And if a vow is what it takes<br>Haven`t you paid for your mistakes<br><br>After the moment passes<br>And the impulse disappears<br>You can still hold back<br>Because you don`t crack very easily<br><br>It`s a time honored resolution<br>Because the danger is always near<br>It`s with you now<br>But that ain`t how it was supposed to be<br><br>And it`s hard to believe after all these years<br>That it still gives you pain and it still brings tears<br>And you feel like a fool<br>Because it`s part of your rules<br>You`ve got a memory<br><br>But you can`t talk about it<br>Because you`re following a code of silence<br>You`re never gonna to lose the anger<br>You just deal with it a different way<br><br>But you can`t talk about it<br>And isn`t that a kind of madness<br>To be living by a code of silence<br>When you`ve really got a lot to say
