Code Of Silence - Billy Joel
Everybody's got a million questions
Everybody wants to know the score
What you went through
It's something you should be over now
Everybody wants to hear the secrets
That you never told a soul before
And it's not that strange
Because it wouldn't change
What happens anyhow
But you swore to yourself
A long time ago
There were some things
That people never needed to know
This is one that you keep
That you bury so deep
No one can tear it out
And you can't talk about it
Cause you're following a code of silence
You're never gonna lose the anger
You just deal with it in a different way
And you can't talk about it
And isn't that a kind of madness
To be living by a code of silence
When you've really got a lot to say
You don't want to lose a friendship
There's nothing
That you have to hide
And a little dirt
Couldn't hurt no one anyway
And you still have a rage inside you
That you carry with a certain pride
In the only part of a broken heart
That you could ever save
But you've been through it once
You know how it ends
You don't see the point
Of going through it again
And this ain't the place
And this ain't the time
And neither's any other day
So you can't talk about it
Cause you're following a code of silence
You're never gonna lose the anger
You just deal with it in a different way
So you can't talk about it
And isn't that a kind of madness
To be living by a code of silence
When you've really got a lot to say
That you never told a soul before
And it's not that strange
Because it wouldn't change
What happens anyhow
But you swore to yourself
A long time ago
There were some things
After the moment passes
And the impulse disappears
You can still hold back
Because you don't crack very easily
It's a time-honored resolution
Because the danger is always near
It's with you now
But that ain't how it was
Supposed to be
And it's hard to believe
After all these years
That it still gives you pain
And it still brings tears
And you feel like a fool
Because in spite of your rules
You've got a memory
But you can't talk about it
Cause you're following a code of silence
You're never gonna lose the anger
You just deal with it in a different way
And you can't talk about it
And isn't that a kind of madness
To be living by a code of silence
When you've really got a lot to say
