The Veronicas - Biting My Tongue Lyrics

The Veronicas Lyrics

"Biting My Tongue"

I've been there, biting my tongue
Trying to hold on to what I'm feeling
'Cause I know that it's safe in my head
You got my heart beating so loud
Wanna scream out, my lips are silent
I'm sick of fighting it

I feel the rush rising up to the back of my throat, I get high
I can't get enough of the way that you're looking at me with those eyes

I really wanna say this, I don't wanna lose this
Thing that we've got, I'm just telling you how I feel
'Cause if you walk away and I don't get to say it
I don't know what would I, what would I, what would I do?
I can't live without you

What would I, what would I, what would I do?
I can't live without you
What would I, what would I, what would I do?
I can't live without you

I swore to myself there ain't no doubt
We're keeping love out, I wasn't strong enough
I didn't see it coming at all
Letting you in under my skin
Then I give in like a fool in love
But I tried fooling us

Can't lie to myself again
Could feel that we're more than friends
But I choke up every time

I really wanna say this, I don't wanna lose this
Thing that we've got, I'm just telling you how I feel
'Cause if you walk away and I don't get to say it
I don't know what would I, what would I, what would I do?
I can't live without you

What would I, what would I, what would I do?
I can't live without you
I don't know
What would I, what would I, what would I do?

I really wanna say this
I don't wanna risk this thing that we've got
But if you walk away and I don't get to say it
I don't know what, what I would do
I can't live without you
I can't live without you
I can't live without you

I don't know
What would I, what would I, what would I do?
I can't live without you
I don't know
What would I, what would I, what would I do?
I can't live without you

"Biting My Tongue" is the lead single from The Veronicas's studio album "Human". The song was premiered on July 3, 2020.

The band explained to Rolling Stone Australia, "'Biting My Tongue' is about saying everything you've been holding back. When desire sits on the tip of your tongue and you don't know if you should share your feelings and risk it all, or hold it in and risk never knowing."
