It's not what I said, it's what I didn't say
When you walk away
It's not what I said that's keeping me away
It's what I didn't say, what I didn't say
Maybe we're too clever to be falling in love
I see myself reflected in your eyes
You walk away
I bet she never breaks your heart like me
Secrets stored in the silence of my sin
Maybe you just didn't need me enough
But the words are only in my head
And I hate the way I'm wearing all these lies
And I hold my breath so you don't hear me say
Shouldn't known battered now
So I let you go and I watch you leave
Like this, like this
And I hold my breath so you don't hear me say
And I hate myself for what I didn't do
So I let you go and I watch you leave
And I hold my breath so you don't hear me say
Is she everything you wanted her to be?
The only part of you I get to keep forever
So it's one more night I cover up with you
So I let you go and I watch you leave
And I'm the one who loses in the end
Maybe we can never be as good as we were
It's not what I said that's keeping me away
When you walk away
But the words are only in my head
It's not what I said, it's what I didn't say
But the words are only in my head
All I have left is a permanent stain
To prove I'd live this pain
Maybe I was never as smart as I thought
