I Still Shut My Eyes

It's not what you think
I just have this way of forcing words
I never meant
And I'd like to think
That there was weight in the words exchanged
Or the way it felt back then

And I know that gets colder at this time of year
And I know that it gets colder when the lies fly by

Though I think you should know everything
I'm keeping this one in for good
And that's the way it ought to be

There's many things
I'd probably say I wouldn't do
But I did back then
I know I lied to you
But it was better that way
And it doesn't change the way you see right through

And I know that it gets colder at this time of year
And I know that it gets colder when the lies fly by
And I know that it gets colder at this time of year
And I know that it gets colder when the lies fly by

Though I think you should know everything
I'm keeping this one in for good
And that's the way it ought to be

And I know that it gets colder at this time of year
And I know that it gets colder when the lies fly by
And I know that it gets colder at this time of year
And I know that it gets colder when the lies fly by
And I know that it gets colder at this time of year
And I know that it gets colder when the lies fly by
