Remember when I made you cry
For some little crime?
In the morning when we awoke,
You said never mind

Easier to put up a ruse
Easier not to speak the truth

What I learned from you
Silence is for fools.
It’s simple to smile
Easy to turn away
But every tear is a bill to be paid.

Your old friend she said to me
It’s time that girl settles down.
I don’t remember my reply
But I see your still making rounds.

Was she right to so frankly speak?
Was she right to put that on me?

What I learned from you
Silence is for fools.
It simple to smile
Easy to turn away
But every tear is a bill to be paid.

I saw a shooting star.
You said I made it up.

What I learned from you
Silence is for fools.
It simple to smile
Easy to turn away
But every tear is a bill to be paid.
