Lyrics
Blissful defiance and determination
finally get a standing ovation
Love?s labor losing and battle wounds healing
Hope that you find me half as appealing
If I told you the truth
I could have saved you some time in the long run
I probably should have told you the truth
but if I told you I loved you it probably would have killed you
Perfect replacement sits in the basement
harbors a grudge with a prior engagement
Wanted to call you to say hello
and that I miss you, you?re wonderful, I?m empty
If I told you the truth
I could have saved you some time in the long run
I probably should have told you the truth
but if I tell you I love you it will probably kill you
Play 20 Questions, no answers returned
We?re bathing in moonlight but I?m still getting burned
To go where we?ve gone we don?t need a reason
but giving up now, well it?s closer to treason
Lunge in a stupor, withdrawal from your sound
my face meets the ground
If I told you the truth
I could have saved you some time in the long run
I probably should have told you the truth
but if I told you I loved you it probably would have killed you
If I told you I loved you it probably would have killed you
