Lyrics
[Verse 1]
My stupid mouth
Has got me in trouble
I said too much again
To a date over dinner yesterday
And I could see she was offended
She said, "Well anyway"
I'm just dying for a subject change
[Verse 2]
Oh, it's another social casualty
Score one more for me
How could I forget?
Mama said, "Think before speaking"
No filter in my head
Oh, what's a boy to do?
I guess he better find one soon, yeah
[Verse 3]
We bit our lips
She looked out the window
Rolling tiny balls of napkin paper
I played a quick game of chess
With the salt and pepper shaker
And I could see clearly
An indelible line was drawn
Between what was good
What just slipped out, and what went wrong
[Verse 4]
Oh, the way she feels about me has changed
Thanks for playing, try again
How could I forget?
Mama said, "Think before speaking"
No filter in my head
Oh, what's a boy to do?
I guess he better find one
[Verse 5]
I'm never speaking up again
It only hurts me
I'd rather be a mystery
Than she desert me
[Verse 6]
Oh, I'm never speaking up again
Starting now
Starting now
[Verse 7]
One more thing
Why is it my fault?
So maybe I try too hard
But it's all because of this desire
[Verse 8]
I just wanna be liked
Just wanna be funny
Looks like the joke's on me
So call me Captain Backfire
[Verse 9]
I'm never speaking up again
It only hurts me
I'd rather be a mystery
Than she desert me
[Verse 10]
Oh, I'm never speaking up again
I'm never speaking up again
I'm never speaking up again
Starting now
Starting now
