Feelings under the rug or on your sleeve

Bottle it up
Oh bottle it up
Just bottle it up once more
Then quietly let it all run out
when you punch a hole in the floor.



Bottle it up
Oh bottle it up
Just bottle it up again
Will it just happen to vaporize
before you count to ten?



Bottle it up
Oh bottle it up
Just bottle it up can be
The silent scream that no one hears
But those who look close will see.



Bottle it up
Oh bottle it up
Just bottle it up once more?
But then the evidence remains
Under the rug on the floor.



Bottle it up
Don't bottle it up
Don't bottle it up, don't hide
An honest spill in open sight
May help with love and pride.
