Billy Joel – Code Of Silence Lyrics  Share

From Billy Joel's album: The Bridge

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

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

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 it^,s part 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
