I don't wanna talk, cause it'll only hurt more.
I don't wanna bring it up again,
Cause it hurt like hell before.
You know me too well,
You make my head spin,
And I'll just say something wrong.
You pull me out of my shell,
And then hate me when I'm done.
But if the rain keeps falling,
And you can't see the tears in my eyes
They say the night is daunting,
But we all need somewhere to hide.
So it could be better if I kept it to myself.
Yeah it could be better, if I left it on the shelf.
Before I go say something I don't mean,
Yeah it could be better if I kept it to myself.
Lets whipe the slate clean,
And I'll bottle it up again.
It's just how I've always been,
Even without you.
Cause if the rain stops falling,
And you start to see the tears in my eyes,
And if the night stops calling,
We won't have somewhere to hide.
So it could be better, if I kept it to myself.
Yeah it could be better if I left it on the shelf.
Before I go and say something I don't mean.
Yeah it could be better if I kept it to myself.
I'd rather forget than have to forgive,
I'd rather lose it than live with this memory.
Don't wanna accept the things that you did,
I try not to show it but you know it hurts me.
I'd rather forget than have to forgive,
I'd rather lose it than live with this memory.
Don't wanna accept the things that you did,
Cause you know it hurts me yeah.
Before I go and say something I don't mean,
