Got Off Easy

theres something you should know that i could never
tell 
you think that i am better 
i thought of telling you 
at home or on the phone, or written in a letter 
when the world is asleep i am still tryin to figure it
out 
and the secrets i am keeping are what i am always
about 

I know i got off easy 
God knows why you believe me 
hiding behind little white lies 
this time i got off easy 
when will you ever see 
that i got, and i got, and i got 
and i got off easy 

theres something you would know if you could read my
mind 
or look behind my cover 
creeping around at night 
is it impossible to be an honest lover? 

so im leaving, im gone 
and ill be satisfied til tomorrow 
can i change, its arranged 
just to keep me from feeling so hollow 

I know i got off easy 
God knows why you believe me 
hiding behind little white lies 
this time i got off easy 
when will you ever see 
that i got, and i got, and i got 
and i got off easy 

and i got, and i got, and i got 
and i got off easy 

I know i got off easy 
God knows why you believe me 
hiding behind little white lies 
this time i got off easy 
when will you ever see 
that i got, and i got, and i got 
and i got off easy 

i know i got off easy 
when will you ever see 
that i got, and i got, and i got 
and i got off easy 
that i got, and i got, and i got 
and i got off easy
