How many times did I lie to protect you?
Which one of us was more afraid of the truth?
You didn't change, you didn't have to
I took the blame and the burden for you
But I'll pretend
And I'll be fine
I can always tell myself a lie
Some things are better left unsaid
Falling on the sword with every promise
I could never expect you to be honest
These stories we've told have damned us both
This is the pain and the penance I chose
I should've never taken this one
It's too late now, you're already gone
Have you forgotten what happened in that room?
You were there, you saw it too
But I'll pretend
And I'll be fine
I can always tell myself a lie
Some things are better left unsaid
With my back to the wall
I have one place to fall
Some things are better left unsaid
With my heart on a wire
You've made me a liar
Some things are better left unsaid
Some things are better left unsaid
