My heart's worn out, and I need a rest
From everything that
We don't talk about, these weights on my chest
Are making me low
And I don't know what you thought, but I can see
A room full of evidence that
I don't really want to fix me
And your smile can't hide
The fact that you let it get to you
Yeah, you're saying it's okay
And I don't get it--but I'm going to
As days go by, well, I could forget
But not if you're gonna be
Standing there beside, with your regrets
Making questions just for show
Telling jokes that we all know
Keep your emotions in the closet
And you're playing with your hair
Since you're all too aware
Of our love and how you lost it
And your smile can't hide
The fact that you let it get to you
Yeah, you're saying it's okay
Although the sting won't go away
Well, you don't have to lie to me
You don't have to lie to me
And you don't have to lie
To yourself, babe
