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
