SILENCE CAN NEVER BE MISQUOTED (Cooper/Jones)

I know you’re afraid and it makes you nervous 
You’re a victim now and they did it on purpose
If it’s their fault, don’t you make it known 
You always go too far with your insults thrown

You shoot from the hip, without ever thinking
With no regard, to who might be listening 
But that’s how you start up the gossip mill 
Chinese whispers circulate and then cause ill will 

Some things are better left unsaid 
Then they can’t be taken out of context 
See others won’t repeat what’s unspoken
‘Cos silence can never be misquoted 

Hold your tongue is what they used to say
Think twice before you press send nowadays
There’ll be no regrets for what you spread
If you keep your words tight inside your head 

Some things are better left unsaid 
Then they can’t be taken out of context 
See others won’t repeat what’s unspoken
‘Cos silence can never be misquoted 

I know you feel hurt and you wanna lash out 
But try and remember these sage words
You can’t erase the way you made someone feel 
Sayin’ sorry just won’t work

Some things are better left unsaid 
Then they can’t be taken out of context 
See others won’t repeat what’s unspoken
‘Cos silence can never be misquoted
