Gather up each emotion and label them one by one, boy Seal infatuation up and store it in the basement Out of sight, out of mind Forget what young love really looks like Sort your feelings into groups, middle child Throw joy and affection away Sew anger and harshness into your lungs Watch the fury spill from your tongue Sweep the sentiments underneath the rug This is exactly what I've learned from your mom Desert that fabric for the next generation Leave them wondering where they got it from Never wear your heart upon your sleeve, son Keep your eyes cold and your heart hard Don't ever let the tears blur your vision Be a man, you mindless child Let her smile fade from your memories, my puppet I'm the one who's supposed to control your ways Watch her eyes turn from evergreen to poison Because you're the one she's bound to betray

Hide Your Feelings Under the Rug
Gather up each emotion and label them one by one, boy Seal infatuation up and store it in the basement Out of sight, out of mind Forget what young love really looks like Sort your feelings into groups, middle child Throw joy and affection away Sew anger and harshness into your lungs Watch the fury spill from your tongue Sweep the sentiments underneath the rug This is exactly what I've learned from your mom Desert that fabric for the next generation Leave them wondering where they got it from Never wear your heart upon your sleeve, son Keep your eyes cold and your heart hard Don't ever let the tears blur your vision Be a man, you mindless child Let her smile fade from your memories, my puppet I'm the one who's supposed to control your ways Watch her eyes turn from evergreen to poison Because you're the one she's bound to betray
For WY Written from TY POV (Tell me what you really think of me. Please don't smile to my face and turn to throw a knife at my back.)
