I've been stretching truth
And I've been living lies
I can tell you anything
but what's really on my mind
I think it's crazy how much I choose to hide
From someone who's known me best
for the longest time

I see you glisten
The shining in your eyes
Either from what's in your solo cup
or what I'm 'bout to bring to light
And the music was pulled out from the plug
I can feel the people looking over and surrounding us
Oh but it's too late, and oh it's just begun
It's time for you to know where I'm coming from

But I've, I've never had so much to lose
And the cost is something I'm not accustomed to
I know you're gonna see me different
And I hate to have to make you choose
But we can't pretend
We can't go back to how it was
before you knew
I can't be friends with you
I can't be friends with you

I see two outcomes to this scenario
Either it will ruin us or you can let it go
And that you've had enough
But come tomorrow
Tonight is all a blur
And nothing but a joke
And there's a third one
Which I hope is true
That somewhere deep inside
you can feel it too
Please don't freeze up
and reach out for your phone
But give me something real
to know I'm not alone
You can kiss me, decide to up and run
Or you can say you have no clue
where I was coming from

But I've, I've never had so much to lose
And the cost is something I'm not accustomed to
I know you're gonna see me different
And I hate to have to make you choose
But we can't pretend
We can't go back to how it was before you knew
I can't be friends with you

If I don't say it now
I'll watch you walking out
with someone that I could've been
And I'll always hate myself
And you may never tell
But it won't be the same again
And I wish it wasn't true
And I wish it wasn't true

But I've, I've never had so much to lose
And the cost is something
I'm not accustomed to
I know you're gonna see me different
And I hate to have to make you choose
But we can't pretend
We can't go back to how it was
before you knew
I can't be friends with you
I can't be friends with you

If I don't say it now
I'll watch you walking out
with someone that I could've been
And I'll always hate myself
And you may never tell
But it won't be the same again
And I wish it wasn't true
And I wish it wasn't true
