from him to her.
My stupid mouth has got me in trouble
I said too much again
To a date over dinner yesterday.
And I could see she was offended
She said "well anyway.."
just dying for a subject change.
Oh, another social casualty,
Score one more for me.
How could I forget?
Mama said think before speaking
No filter in my head..
Oh, what's a boy to do?
I guess he better find one soon.
We bit our lips.
She looked out the window,
Rolling tiny balls of napkin paper.
I played a quick game of chess
with the salt and pepper shaker.
And I could see clearly
An indelible line was drawn
Between what was good,
what just slipped out,
and what went wrong.
Oh, the way she feels about me has changed
Thanks for playing, try again
How could I forget?
Mama said think before speaking
No filter in my head
Oh, what's a boy to do?
I guess he better find one..
I'm never speaking up again,
It only hurts me.
I'd rather be a mystery than she desert me.
Oh I'm never speaking up again,
Starting now..
One more thing
Why is it my fault?
So maybe I try too hard.
But it's all because of this desire.
I just wanna be liked, just wanna be funny,
Looks like the joke's on me.
So call me Captain Backfire.
I'm never speaking up again,
It only hurts me.
I'd rather be a mystery than she desert me.
Oh, I'm never speaking up again..
I'm never speaking up again..
I'm never speaking up again.
