Secrets told in the pictures on your skin Hours fade into days that never end I see myself reflected in your eyes And I hate the way I'm wearing all these lies
[CHORUS:] So I let you go And I watch you leave And I hold my breath So you don't hear me scream 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
Is she everything you wanted her to be? Yeah, I bet she never breaks your heart like me So it's one more night I cover up with you And I hate myself for what I didn't do
[CHORUS]
Should've known better, now All I have left is a permanent stain The only part of you I get to keep forever To prove I lived this pain
Maybe I was never as smart as I thought Maybe we can never be as good as we want Maybe you just didn't need me enough Maybe we're too clever to be falling in love like this Like this
Secrets told in the silence of my sin And I'm the one who loses in the end
