to stay there Oh no
Verse 2:

There was a conscious

effort played by me

to disown anything I

see There was a girl
I knew way back when

who says she doesn't
know me anymore

These are the lies
C Bb
the things you never mention

F
These are my thoughts
written down on paper
Bb
It's my only savior
Dm
from not saying
C Bb C
what I want to say
F
These are the thoughts
that are on my mind
Bb
Moments that haven't
yet been defined

And I don't know if you

could ever understand

These are the things I
can't say when were alone
Verse 3:

There were countless

hours on the telephone

My ears were ringing
from the dial tone

There were flashing
lights people staring

There was nothing
I could ever do

Dm
This is the truth
C Bb
The only time you'll hear it
Dm
I write it down because it
C Bb C
seems so hard to say it
