For all the good you say it does
It seems no better when you've had your say
You may believe it's just because
The words get colder when you've gone away
I thought I understood
What I was to you.
I don't want to feel this way
I don't want to say I'm just a friend
I don't want to wait around here
'Cos you don't want to feel no pain again
We just lie about it
As we become shadows of ourselves.
Some may fear committed lives,
I sure am one of them without you.
Does it come to you as some surprise?
I laid the ground beneath to doubt you
Was it ever girl,
Something you could hold?
(Repeat Bridge)
I don't want to look away
I don't want to be the one denied
It ain't no fault of mine
Someone, somewhere told you lies
But we don't talk about it,
We just become shadows of ourselves.
But we don't talk about it
We just become shadows of ourselves
F9/E-Bm/D-C#7/G#--
Ahh
Ahh
Ahh
(Repeat Bridge)
I don't want to look away
I don't want to be the one denied
It ain't no fault of mine
Someone, somewhere told you lies
But we don't talk about it,
We just become shadows of ourselves.
