Let It Lie

You get the summons I'll pay the fine
I know my place you take your time
You take the high road, I'll take the blame
Or take me in your arms, it's all the same

I may never see dear
Say the words you want to hear
I can't always be the one to swallow my pride
If you let your walls down
Maybe you would know how
To leave this alone
Let it lie
Let it lie

I needed less, you wanted more
I shuffled my feet you slammed the door
I was just happy to sit and sing
Oh but darling, you wanted everything

Oh

I may never see dear
Say the words you want to hear
I can't always be the one to swallow my pride
If you let your walls down
Maybe you would know how
To leave this alone
Let it lie
Let it lie

You say I'm selfish, you may be right
And that my songs won't keep me warm at night
You go your way I'll go mine
I know your hurt, but you'll be just fine

Oh

I may never see dear
Say the words you want to hear
I can't always be the one to swallow my pride
If you let your walls down
Maybe you would know how
To leave this alone
Let it lie
Let it lie
