Lyrics

When I
Carry my load
When I cry
I don't feel it any more
It's like a rainy day
That never goes away
Am I alone
Am I the only one

Now hold back
My my don't explode
We don't want to rock the boat
Who told you that?

They lie
And they show no shame

Now hold back
My my don't explode
We don't want to rock the boat
Who told you that?
Who told you that?
Who told you that?
Who told you that?

Stop acting up
You know it won't change a thing
That's how it is and how it's always been

Who told you that?
Who told you that?
