I've Said Too Much - Howard Jones

Put that finger back to my lips,

Will I taste of sugar or of cold wet stone

Hope the shell will break on a paper dinner plate

Ooh not a headstone

How long does it take to change the man

How much sun to melt a frozen life

How long will it take for the mask to slip

And find a way to mend this broken heart

I’ve said too much, I’ve opened up

I’ve spilled my guts,

I can’t go back, no I won’t go back, no I shouldn’t ever go back to you.

Push your finger into my ribs

Am I made of honey am I made of bone

Scrape your nails over my skin

To find how many layers I’m wrapped in How long does it take to change the man

How much sun to melt a frozen life

How long will it take for the mask to slip

And find a way to mend this broken heart

I’ve said too much, I’ve opened up

I’ve spilled my guts,

I can’t go back, no I won’t go back, no I shouldn’t ever go back to you.

shouldn’t ever go back to you

shouldn’t ever go back

shouldn’t ever go back to you

Here’s the person, you used to know

A strange new alchemy, produces the gold

A local warming of a frozen ghost

A homeless entity returned to the host.

How long does it take to change the man

How much sun to melt a frozen life

How long will it take for the mask to slip

And find a way to mend this broken heart

I’ve said too much, I’ve opened up

I’ve spilled my guts,

No I can’t go back, no I won’t go back, no I shouldn’t ever go back to you

I’ve said too much, I’ve opened up

I’ve spilled my guts,

I can’t go back, no I won’t go back, no I shouldn’t ever go back to you

shouldn’t ever go back to you

shouldn’t ever go back

shouldn’t ever go back
