Here we have a treaty renowned
Disguised as a hand
Extended to give what it can
It offered a safe place to go
By wrapping itself around the throat and clenching down
Nobody's fighting you
You're acting like you won't stand up for me now
A simple thing to do
I wonder why you won't stand up for me now
Button up and don't make a sound
A whisper could cause
Irreparable damage and loss
Better to keep things quiet
Don't want to be tied to all the new things going down
I don't understand it
There must be something on your mind
I didn't think the things we shared
Were enough to make you want to hide
Can't help thinking you don't see me real enough to recognize
Patterns in the way you treat the feelings of the other guys
