It is best to keep it all inside When the quicksand fills your boots and rises past your eyes It is better to die suffocating and choking on your pride It is best to keep it all inside When she's telling you that you're no good And that you'll never be much more than some fool carved out of wood It's best to kill her with your kindness while you're sleeping in her bed It is best to keep it all inside It is never too late to come home You will always have your box in your room Where your momma lays your clothes out And she leaves you where you lie It is best to keep it all inside When it's good it's really good When there's fruit up on the table and she treats you like she should There's no need to get excited let your heels click on the floor It is best to keep it all inside It is best to keep it all inside
