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
