My daddy always taught me to speak what's on my mind
But whenever I'm around you, I get tongue tied
So I guess it's time for me to hide behind a song
Because my silence has gone on far too long
You're a nightmare in the daytime
You make me feel so small
You see you do this by really doing nothing at all
But I can see right through it to the root of your lies
You're a horrible person with the worst disguise
When I see you out in public with your artificial grin
I think about my mother and what might have been
Had I heeded her advice on social protocol
I never would've got involved with such a screwball
You're a nightmare in the daytime
You make me feel so small
You see you do this by really doing nothing at all
But I can see right through it to the root of your lies
You're a horrible person with the worst disguise
(If you're got nothing nice to say then don't say it at all)
(If you've got nothing nice to say then don't say it at all)
(If you've got nothing nice to say then don't say it at all)
(If you've got nothing nice to say then don't say it at all)
But I've been quiet too long
But I've been quiet too long
You're a nightmare in the daytime
You make me feel so small
You see you do this by really doing nothing at all
But I can see right through it to the root of your lies
You're a horrible person with the worst disguise
You're horrible, horrible
