Loose Lips

You didn't mean to say it
But it's out there now
And things will never be the same
The sleeping dog
Aroused from its slumber,
Loose lips
Have sunk your ship

I once told my good friend my other good friend was planning on breaking up with her. God to be young and stupid again. I can't hold people to their own dark thoughts. Everyone has them just no one wants to say what they are. Whatever, it'll come out sooner or later. I think your subject said something darker like ' i love you' hoping you'd say it back. that one definitely redesigns the emotional landscape.
