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.

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.
