lyrics

One night I went to sleep
At the end of a long week
And I thought you seemed withdrawn

Well the truth always comes out
And now yours has through someone else’s mouth
And right now I can’t move on

You’re telling yourself
It’s to protect me
So you hid away a crucial part of me

And I can’t let this go
Even though you’ve said you’re sorry
Cause you lied to me about me

Now I sit at home
Figuring things out on my own
Cause you took this way too far

You divert the blame
With your self-righteous selfless claim
But right now I don’t know who you are

You’re telling yourself
It’s to protect me
So you hid away a crucial part of me

And I can’t let this go
Even though you’ve said you’re sorry
Cause you lied to me about me

Why can’t you admit
You might have made the wrong call
This time

Put yourself in my shoes
If I had lied to you

You’ve convinced yourself
I need protecting
So you hid away a crucial part of me

And I can’t let this go
Even though you’ve said you’re sorry
Cause you lied to me about me

You’ve convinced yourself
You did the right thing
Did it cross your mind you can’t decide for me?

And I can’t let this go
Even though you’ve said you’re sorry
Cause you lied to me
About everything

Oh, you lied to me
About me
