[Verse 1]
I can't believe, oh the ease with which you're telling me to
Fall into line, it's the line that you have crossed so many times
Can't you see I can't play the part you've cast me for
I've cut the strings, I have seen behind this charming pantomime
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't you know that the fire went out?
Don't you know, don't you know, don't you know by now?
[Chorus]
So hold your tongue
And bide your time
You could be
You could be losing your mind
[Verse 2]
Back to a time when a look was all it took to get you through
Before the chill stole the thrill and you were racing around with
Nothing to lose, you could prove beyond a doubt you had it
All at your feet, but you've lost it now, it's slipped out of your reach
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't you know how the fire went out?
Don't you know, don't you know, don't you know?
You should know by now
[Chorus]
So hold your tongue
And bide your time
You could be
You could be losing your mind
