lyrics

I’ve been here for far too long
I’ve made my bed
I’ve built this home
I feel safe
knowing no one knows me

But I would wait
’til every wall
came crashing down
before I talk
I just can’t
That is who I am
Don’t you see?

That I
I’m no babbling kind
All these thoughts are confined
It gets lonely at times
but I’ve got me
and I’m no babbling kind

I have made my own mystique
My heart can’t seem to find my sleeve
It is far too large
To move
would kill the beat

But I hope that you don’t mistake
my silence for a tinge of hate
I just feel like
a bother
when I speak

So I
I’m no babbling kind
All these thoughts are confined
It gets lonely at times
but I’ve got me
and I’m no babbling kind

I know it must be tough
to trust someone
who won’t give that much
All of the years
have just built up
How do you teach an old dog new tricks?
Why can’t I be more loose-lipped?
Sometimes I think I’d heal quicker
if I’d only talk

But I
I’m no babbling kind
All these thoughts are confined
It gets lonely at times
but I’ve got me
and I’m no babbling kind
But I’ve got me
and I’m no babbling kind
But I’ve got me
and I’m no babbling kind
Babbling kind
No babbling kind
Babbling kind
