Bite my tongue


I worked with you to be closer You said no one can find out I had to keep my mouth shut I ended up moving to another department You were front desk I was in the bistro I can see you across the room That was enough for me A few people found out about us I was happy they did Now I can relax a Little New people were hired One was a girl I didn't mind But you told me not to say anything about us I knew if more people found out manager would find out I bit my tongue One day an old friend came to apply I walked passed him not knowing who he was He stopped me to say hi and gave me a hug I knew you where watching.... I couldn't say anything The managers where there We talked a little and he left I knew you were mad I bit my tongue I could see you were upset Didn't even look at me Didn't even come to chat The girl came in for her shift You came running Started to talk with her Flirting right Infront of me .... I bit my tongue I was hurt You did that on purpose You even smiled at me ..... You wanted to hurt me You wanted me to know my place I bit my tongue For so long you put me through situations where I had to bite my tongue Not anymore Never again I'm not going back to that I'm tired of it No more bitting my tongue

My work goes with the beat of how I feel to when I remember a memory I want to talk about it to random thoughts
