Code Of Silence Lyrics - Billy Joel

Everybody's got a million questions 

Everybody wants to know the score 

What you went through 

It's something you 

Should be over now 

Everybody wants to hear the secrets 

That you never told a soul before 

And it's not that strange 

Because it wouldn't change 

what happened anyhow 

But you swore to yourself a long time ago 

There were some things that people never needed to know 

Guess there's one that you keep 

That you bury so deep 

No one can tear it out

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

And you can't talk about it 

Because you're following a code of silence 

You're never gonna to lose the anger 

You just deal with it a different way 

And you can't talk about it 

And isn't that a kind of madness 

To be living by a code of silence 

When you've really got a lot to say 

You don't want to lose a friendship 

There's nothing that you have to hide 

And a little dirt 

Couldn't hurt no one anyway 

And you still have a rage inside you 

That you carry with a certain pride 

In the only part of the broken heart 

That you could ever save 

Photos 

But you've been through it once 

You know how it ends 

You don't see the point 

Of going through it again 

And this ain't the place 

And this ain't the time 

And neither's any other day 

So you can't talk about it 

Because you're following a code of silence 

You're never gonna to lose the anger 

You just deal with it a different way 

So you can't talk about it 

And isn't that a kind of madness 

To be living by a code of silence 

When you've really got a lot to say 

I know you well enough to tell you've got your reasons 

That's not the kind of code you're inclined to break 

Some things unknown are best left alone forever 

And if a vow is what it takes 

Haven't you paid for your mistakes 

After the moment passes 

And the impulse disappears 

You can still hold back 

Because you don't crack very easily 

It's a time honored resolution 

Because the danger is always near 

It's with you now 

But that ain't how it was supposed to be 

And it's hard to believe after all these years 

That it still gives you pain and it still brings tears 

And you feel like a fool 

Because in spite of your rules 

You've got a memory 

But you can't talk about it 

Because you're following a code of silence 

You're never gonna to lose the anger 

You just deal with it a different way 

But you can't talk about it 

And isn't that a kind of madness 

To be living by a code of silence 

When you've really got a lot to say
