The BlueHearts: Music
Tongue Tied
(The Blue Hearts: Album Dark Side Of Town)
When I wanted to shout it
Like there was no doubt about it
Then I stumble and stutter
Throw my heart into the gutter
When I needed the words
It was all left unheard
Yes when I tried to shine
It all broke down and died
You leave me tongue-tied
You hear me speaking in tongues
Every spell does its harm
But when I try to find
Something far more sublime
You leave me tongue-tied
Everything I wanted to say I couldn’t let it out
So I’m left with this longing when I’m overcome with doubt
I whispered you hurt me
But you never heard me
Every red faced lie
Put a dent in my pride
You leave me tongue-tied
