Shut Up

(verse) i dont know where to begin/ and i dont know where to start/ but wait, i take it all back/ let's start by looking at your heart/ let's start by looking at your heart/ and the only problem comes/ as soon as you sit down/ and i ask if you've ever heard the news/ you look at me strangely/so i'll take that as a no// (bridge 1) and you start to talk about yourself/ and you don't let me say anything// (chorus) so shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up (and sit down)/ so shut your mouth and open up your ears/ please just listen to what i want you to hear/ it's what i want you to hear// (verse) you keep on trying to get louder than me/ so i just quit and sit there quietly/ finally you take a breath/ and think what else to say/ and i just dive in before you can say// (chorus) (ending) you let me talk/ about what's been on my heart/ when i'm done/ you say you need to go/ you tell me, you've got a new life to start/ after this/ you realize/ it pays/ to shut up/ after all///
