I have learned the value of the unspoken word
keep a smile behind each ear oh, haven't you heard?
Its a quarter for two, but it'll have to do
no one knows the difference except,
except maybe you.
And I have learned the value of
honesty
but no one knows the difference except,
except maybe me
so many beds in which I've lain that have not been my own
now I'm cheap, now I'm damaged, I reap what I have sown
buy one and get, as many as you like free
choosing in not
not an option for me.
I only settle for what *I* *can* *get*,
but for you life is on big gentlemens' bet and
I have come to realize
its not your strength and
its not your size
its how many people you step on, to reach the top
but be careful looking down...its a long long way to drop.
And I wonder if you'll remember me fifteen years from today,
I wonder if I'll remember you... sure as hell seems that way
because I have come to realize
I'm not quite as strong as I once thought
I can be bought by a smile or a, love-me-not,
and I have fought so many wars and I'm not so strong anymore
but it'll have to do
I can at least pretend I'm free
no one knows the difference,
no one including me.
Because I have learned the value of the unspoken word
keep my heart strapped to my boot
oh its absurd
it's a quarter for two but
I'll get through
no one knows the difference
no one... including you.
