What would happen if you opened that can of worms?

lyrics

If you ruin everything, it’s all your fault
If you ruin everything, it’s all your fault
If you ruin everything, it’s all your fault

You wonder what would happen
You wonder what they’d say
You wonder if it would be the way you always dreamed
You wonder if your secret
Would be so well-received
Could things be any different than they seem?

You tell yourself it’s better
To tell a simple truth
You tell yourself that everyone loves honesty
But when the truth is not that simple
And sometimes lies protect
What do you do?
What do you do?

Keep the lid on tightly
Don’t let it sneak out
You can’t put all those worms back in the jar
Because It’s not a story
Where you can change the ending
Just by flipping all the pages to the start

No matter what they tell you
The world doesn’t work this way
You can’t have chocolate and vanilla both
You might spend your whole life wondering
How the other one might taste
You should have thought of that before you took the oath

You tell yourself it’s easier
Just to hold it in
You tell yourself that nobody likes to rock the boat
But when you’re yearning to explore
For fear of missing out
What do you do?
What do you do?


Keep the lid on tightly
Don’t let it sneak out
You can’t put all those worms back in the jar
Because It’s not a story
Where you can change the ending
Just by flipping all the pages to the start


If you ruin everything, it’s all your fault
If you ruin everything, it’s all your fault
If you ruin everything, it’s all your fault

You don’t know what you want
You know what you don’t want
You just want the chance to try
And if you fall, at least you had a chance to fly

Keep the lid on tightly
Don’t let it sneak out
You can’t put all those worms back in the jar
Because It’s not a story
Where you can change the ending
Just by flipping all the pages to the start

If you ruin everything, it’s all your fault
If you ruin everything, it’s all your fault
If you ruin everything, it’s all your fault...
