Billy Joel - code of silence

과거의 아픔과 비밀은 쉽게 드러낼 수 없는 것임을 느끼며, 그로 인해 관계의 균형을 유지하려 합니다
당신은 여전히 분노와 슬픔을 지니고 있지만, 그 모든 것을 침묵으로 감추며 살아가는 자신의 모습을 돌아봅니다
결국 이런 침묵이 오히려 미치광이 같은 삶이 된다는 깨달음을 얻습니다

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
Because 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
Guess there's one that you keep
That you bury so deep
No one can tear it out


And you can't talk about it
Because you're following a code of silence
You're never gonna to lose the anger
You just deal with it a different way


And you can't talk about it
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


You don't want to 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


So you can't talk about it
Because you're following a code of silence
You're never gonna to lose the anger
You just deal with it a different way


So you can't talk about it
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


I know you well enough to tell you've got your reasons
That's not the kind of code you're inclined to break
Some things unknown are best left alone forever
And if a vow is what it takes
Haven't you paid for your mistakes


After the moment passes
And the impulse disappears
You can still hold back
Because you don't crack very easily


It's a time honored resolution
Because the danger is always near
It's with you now
But that ain't how it was supposed to be


And it's hard to believe after all these years
That it still gives you pain and it still brings tears
And you feel like a fool
Because it's part of your rules
You've got a memory


But you can't talk about it
Because you're following a code of silence
You're never gonna to lose the anger
You just deal with it a different way


But you can't talk about it
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
