Jerry Cantrell - Held Your Tongue LYRICS
No tearful confession
I admit to nothing wrong
Therapeutic regression
I'll be waiting for you when it falls to dark
Who put out your spark?
Slow and steady no resting
Are you ready to play that role?
From the tip to the fadeout
I leave you swinging blindly in the dark
Try to make your mark
Had my fun – hung and dried
Held your tongue – young you tried
Had my fun – hung and dried
Held your tongue
Kinda feel like it's played out
Even as you win you know
By design it's a shake down
Wringing out a lone drop from a withered heart
Well it is a start
We belong together
Separate never
We belong together
We share this space in time
Had my fun – hung and dried
Held your tongue – young you tried
Had my fun – hung and dried
Held your tongue
No tearful confession
I admit to nothing wrong
Therapeutic regression
I'll be waiting on you 'fore it all goes dark
And put out your spark
We belong together
Separate never
We belong together
We share this space in time
Young you tried – had my fun
Hung and dried – held your tongue
Young you tried – had my fun
Hung and dried – held your tongue
