lyrics

You should be careful when you're talking
You never know who might hear
Not just a shoulder to lean on
But also inquisitive ears

The secretest revelation
The news you wanted to keep
Has ways of trickling backwards
To me

I don't mind forgiveness - that suits some people just fine

Backrooms are easy for listening
The party's over somewhere
Meanwhile, you hide and confide in
A heart that you expected to care

Me, I'm still off in the corner
Pretending everything's fine
The only business I'm minding
Is mine

I don't mind forgiveness - that suits some people just fine
I never cared for forgiveness - I never thought the need was mine

You should be careful when you're talking
'Bout things you don't understand
Like how much I'm willing to ask for
And what you have a right to demand

The truth is here in the papers
It's there for everyone to see
No need to keep up pretenses
For me

A forest fire is required
That's how the new trees can grow
The needle stitches your wounds
Painfully slow

I don't mind forgiveness - that suits some people just fine
I never cared for forgiveness - I'm just repaying in kind

You should be careful when you're talking
You never know who might hear
It could be me in that corner
Standing near
