For all the good you say it does,
|
It seems no better when you've had your say.
|
You may believe it's just because
|
The words get colder when you've gone away.
|
I thought I understood what I was to you.
|
|
I don't want to feel this way, no,
|
I don't want to say I'm just a friend.
|
I don't want to wait around here
|
'Cause you don't want to feel no pain again.
|
We just lie about it
|
As we become shadows of ourselves.
|
|
Some may fear committed lives.
|
I sure am one of them without you.
|
Does it come to you as some surprise
|
I laid the ground beneath to doubt you?
|
Was it ever, girl, something you could hold?
|
|
I don't want to feel this way, no,
|
I don't want to say I'm just a friend.
|
I don't want to wait around here
|
'Cos you don't want to feel no pain again.
|
We just lie about it
|
As we become shadows of ourselves.
|
|
I don't want to look away.
|
I don't want to be the one denied.
|
It ain't no fault of mine
|
Someone somewhere told you lies.
|
We don't talk about it.
|
We just become shadows of ourselves.
