[Verse 1] I am sitting in the dark I want to disappear into the shadows There is no way to reverse All the lies that I have told Putting on a different face Each time I need to unfold The ugly wings of ashes Broke the hearts that I hold close [Chorus] When you hurt, I hurt too So why’d I do this to you When you break, I break too So why can’t I tell the truth Why can’t I… Simply tell the truth [Short Instrumental Interlude] [Verse 2] Now each time you ask a question I get frozen in my skin Even truth sounds unreal now How do I even begin Do I take the easy way out Choose comfort over growth Is there anything, really, to lose now That I have risked it all… for us both [Bridge] How much to tell How much to say How I got through another day What do you expect of me Why does it become so gray [Chorus] When you hurt, I hurt too So why’d I do this to you When you break, I break too So why can’t I tell the truth Why can’t I… Simply tell the truth [Outro - spoken half-whisper] You do know what is true. Feelings cannot lie. For all that we’ve been through… Please don’t say goodbye.
