Shut Up
Do you realize the things you say?
Do you know the memories won't ever go away?
What would I remember
If you died today?
You think the little words don't matter
Or a slap in the face after
I'll shut my mouth, then,
Like I was told to
And not speak of the morals
We don't ever hold to
Someday you'll wonder why
I don't talk to you
(well, it's because you told me not to)
I forgot, I'm not supposed to
Be upset
That would be stupid
"Stop whining," you'd say
So you won't read this
And you'll never recognize
That I feel this
