Code of Silence Billy Joel (Ft. Cyndi Lauper)

[Verse 1: Billy Joel]
Everybody's got a million questions
Everybody wants to know the score
What you went through
It's something you should be over now
Everybody wants to hear the secrets
That you never told a soul before
And it's not that strange
'Cause it wouldn't change what happened anyhow
But you swore to yourself a long time ago
There were some things that people never needed to know
This is one that you keep, that you bury so deep
No one can tear it out

[Chorus: Billy Joel, Cyndi Lauper, Both]
And you can't talk about it
'Cause you're following a code of silence
You're never gonna lose the anger
You just deal with it in a different way
And you can't talk about it (No, you can't talk)
And isn't that a kind of madness
To be living by a code of silence
When you've really got a lot to say

[Verse 2: Billy Joel]
You don't wanna lose a friendship
There's nothing that you have to hide
And a little dirt
Couldn't hurt no one anyway
And you still have a rage inside you
That you carry with a certain pride
In the only part of the broken heart
That you could ever save
But you've been through it once, you know how it ends
You don't see the point of going through it again
And this ain't the place and this ain't the time
And neither's any other day
