it could be better

I don't want to talk

'Cause it'll only hurt more

I don't want to 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 and say something I don't mean

Yeah it could be better if I kept it to myself

Let's wipe 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 starts falling and you start to see the tears in my eyes

And if the night stops calling then 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 yeah

Before I go and say something I don't mean

Before I go and say something I don't mean

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
