For all the good you say it does 
It seems no better when you had your say 
You may believe it's just because 
Words get colder when you've gone away 
I thought I understood 
What I was to you 

I don't want to feel this way no 
I don't want to say I'm just a friend 
I don't want to wait around here 
Cause you don't want to feel no pain again 
We just lie about it 
As we become shadows of ourselves 

Some may fear committed lives 
I sure am one of them without you 
Does it come to you as some surprise 
I lay the ground beneath to doubt you 
Was it ever, girl, something you could hold 

I don't want to feel this way no 
I don't want to say I'm just a friend 
I don't want to wait around here 
Cause you don't want to feel no pain again 
We just lie about it 
As we become shadows of ourselves 

I don't want to look away 
I don't want to be the one denied 
It ain't no fault of mine 
Someone somewhere told you lies 
We don't talk about it 
We just become shadows of ourselves 
We don't talk about it 
We just become shadows of ourselves 

I don't want to feel this way no 
I don't want to say I'm just a friend 
I don't want to wait around here 
Cause you don't want to feel no pain again 
We just lie about it 
As we become shadows of ourselves 

I don't want to look away 
I don't want to be the one denied 
It ain't no fault of mine 
Someone somewhere told you lies 
We don't talk about it 
We just become shadows of ourselves 
We don't talk about it 
We just become shadows of ourselves
