so keep your mouth shut !

would it kill you to breathe easy?
only 17 miles lay between you and me
I could make it if I had to
I don't break easily
you got my council, thick as thieves
if there's a crime, we'll keep it secret
for there's only trace amounts left in your blood
you may be a sinner
but you may be justified

just keep your mouth shut
keep your guard up
I swear I'll make it right

will it kill me to breathe?
not as easy as you think it is
between you and me,
I could fake it if I have to
I don't break easily
I need your council, thick as thieves
I have no crime to keep a secret
it was hers, it was not mine

well I may be a sinner,
but it wasn't me this time

just keep your mouth shut
keep your guard up
I swear I'll make it right

well, listen to yourself
there is a hemmorage in your mouth
It won't stop bleeding
well, you may be the trigger
I will hold the smoking gun
you'll get away clean
I'll keep your secrets 'til the grave has swallowed me
and I will never tell a tortured soul there burning by my side
that I am a sinner
I am a savior
I am a lie

so keep your mouth shut
keep your guard up
I swear I'll make it right
