"Say Goodbye, Tell No One" lyrics

"Say Goodbye, Tell No One"

People change, people grow
You can take it in stride or slam a door
You can go quiet, yeah, you can run
Say goodbye, tell no one

The easiest thing for me would be
Get someone to speak for me
Get somebody else to tell you how I feel

The hardest part about the truth
Saying something that might hurt you
The hardest part about a lie
You can't outrun it if you try
I was always good to you
You can get blisters from your favorite shoes
You can go quiet, you can run
Say goodbye, tell no one

Here's the truth wrapped up in a lie:
I never cared and I never tried
I don't miss you and I never cried
It didn't hurt me when you took their side

The easiest thing for me would be
Get someone to speak for me
Get somebody else to make all my meals
Get somebody else to tell you how I feel

Find someone else when it doesn't come easy
To clean up the mess, to get up early
Find someone not to judge you
When you did something you can't undo

The hardest part about the truth
Saying something that might hurt you
The hardest part about a lie
You can't outrun it if you try
I was always good to you
You can get blisters from your favorite shoes
You can go quiet, you can run
Say goodbye, tell no one

The hardest part about the truth
Saying something that might hurt you
The hardest part about a lie
You can't outrun it if you try
I was always good to you
You can get blisters from your favorite shoes
You can go quiet, you can run
Say goodbye, tell no one
