Bite My Tongue
Adam Richman Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, bite my tongue, from far away
I can feel the words you say
They drift on, in and out of my world
Stupid me, I can't relate
Do I love or care or hate
You, my friend, are you the end or just a girl

You're still here

I can't believe my life has not moved on
Out of fear, or even knowing with you something will go wrong
I guess I can replace the poetry from off your face
It speaks to me like I'm the only one

So bite my tongue, far away
It's a game we shouldn't to play
And I know someone's bound to hurt
But that's you, your spirit's free
You would take that chance on me
And I know you don't mind playing in the dirt

'Cause your still here
I can't believe has not moved on
Out of fear, or even knowing with you something will go wrong
I guess I can replace, the poetry from off your face
It makes me feel like I am the only one
I am the only one

Only one
Only one

'Cause your still here
I can't believe my life has not moved on
Out of fear, or even knowing with you something will go very wrong
I guess I can replace the poetry from off your face

It makes me feel like you're the only one who ever understood
It makes me feel like I'm the only one
