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