Lyrics

Hands Over My Mouth I'm just a singer of simple songs to you But things can get so complicated It's hard to tell the truth The less you say the less you stand to lose I've only got myself to blame When I'm no deeper than a baseball game And these excuses tend to keep me tame But the truth is stronger than a hurricane I'm just a singer with my hands over my mouth A politician with an empty plan To never let you down An architect that could never draw a house 'Cause I worry when I draw those lines I've got to leave something on the other side And I get to thinking that it's such a crime To speak the questions that are on my mind We want honesty but we don't tell the truth We want friendship but we keep our friends from being close We want love but we want a back door out And if you want the truth I've got no excuse Except these hands over my mouth There's just joy and there's just a little peace Just a bit of everything we need On the other side of the lies we choose to speak And if I'm honest with myself It's easier to be someone else It's being who you are and making no excuses That's hard as hell
