What Hides Behind

What Hides Behind

Verse:
Be careful what you do and be careful what you say
I’ll all catch up to you some day
Even if it's something you later deny
Everyone knows it wasn't a lie

Every second of every hour
Determines who you are
No word that leaves your lips
Can be sucked right back in

Pre-chorus
What some people don’t realize
Is everybody says what they mean in some way

Chorus:
There’s always a little knowledge behind “I don’t know”
Always a bit of compassion in “I don’t care”
Always some desire when you say “No, thanks”
Some truth in “It was just a joke”
What hides behind
Is never a lie
Despite the false signs

Verse:
Even though there are complications
Sometimes people find the implications
If you’re swift enough, you’ll catch them
And decode them, and keep them locked in your head

P-C:
What some people don’t realize
Is everybody says what they mean in some way

Chorus:
There’s always a little knowledge behind “I don’t know”
Always a bit of compassion in “I don’t care”
Always some desire when you say “No, thanks”
Some truth in “It was just a joke”
What hides behind
Is never a lie
Despite the false signs

Instrumental

Chorus:
There’s always a little knowledge behind “I don’t know”
Always a bit of compassion in “I don’t care”
Always some desire when you say “No, thanks”
Some truth in “It was just a joke”
What hides behind
Is never a lie
Despite the false signs

I like this one. I liked others of yours, too, but this one inspired me to write a comment. There is a lot of wisdom in the line about everybody saying what they mean. It's a simple statement and then you illustrate it well with examples. That said, I'll think carefully about what I say from now on :)
