Quick to the Tongue

from Now What? by Tilia Americana

/

lyrics

You just sitting there feeling so smug, well
It sure come easy for you to judge
You say it good and quick I know you will
You see your chance, you move right in for the kill

You never ever take your mama’s advice, she said,
“Don’t say a thing if you can’t say it nice.”
You show no mercy and no care for another
Well that’s your right, but let me tell you brother,

When mistakes are made you're quick to the tongue,
but when the
Stakes are raised you've lost more than won
What will you do when around it comes?
Where will you be when the day is done?


You say you’re being straight just speaking your mind, well
The simple truth is that you’re being unkind
Keep crushing spirits, sending good folks to hell
You keep it up you gonna be by yourself

When mistakes are made you're quick to the tongue,
but when the
Stakes are raised you've lost more than won
What will you do when around it comes?
Where will you be when the day is done?


Think
before you speak
Oh how it hurts
Why make them bleed?

You
can say your truth
And still speak kind
You ask me why?

Cause all that poison kills the killer too


I'll tell you something sure I tell it true
You keep this nasty up the way you do
You’ll have no friends and have no lovers too, you'll
have no one left to criticize but you.

When mistakes are made you're quick to the tongue,
but when the
Stakes are raised you've lost more than won
What will you do when around it comes?
Where will you be when the day is done?

Where will you be when the day is done?
Tell me, where you’ll be when the day is done?
