lyrics
You’re so quick to offer judgement
First to lampoon, pour salt in the wound
Oh, it’s so cold and confidential
Dirty laundry, soaked in cheap perfume
Don’t call, and I won’t bother
Just play the hand that you’ve been dealt
No criticism offered
To save you - to save you from yourself
Even the closest of friends feel caught outside an inside joke
All the hot air you expel can’t keep your sad veneer afloat
All your pseudonyms are see-through
Clearer than sheer, insincere
Oh, sweet talk, suck up all you want to
But flattery will get you nowhere
You know that it’s not proper
Treason poses hazards to your health
Truth kills or makes you strong
But it won’t save you - save you from yourself
Even the closest of friends feel caught outside an inside joke
When they’re confronted, they can’t defend the lies that you promote
I know, I know it wasn’t calculated, intentionally so
I can’t explain - it became so complicated, confidential, cold
First to lampoon, pour salt in the wound
Oh, it’s so cold and confidential
Dirty laundry, soaked in cheap perfume
Don’t call, and I won’t bother
Just play the hand that you’ve been dealt
No criticism offered
To save you - to save you from yourself
Even the closest of friends feel caught outside an inside joke
All the hot air you expel can’t keep your sad veneer afloat
All your pseudonyms are see-through
Clearer than sheer, insincere
Oh, sweet talk, suck up all you want to
But flattery will get you nowhere
You know that it’s not proper
Treason poses hazards to your health
Truth kills or makes you strong
But it won’t save you - save you from yourself
Even the closest of friends feel caught outside an inside joke
When they’re confronted, they can’t defend the lies that you promote
I know, I know it wasn’t calculated, intentionally so
I can’t explain - it became so complicated, confidential, cold
