I don't want to talk 'Cause it'll only hurt more I don't want to bring it up again 'Cause it hurt like hell before You know me too well You make my head spin and I'll just say something wrong You pull me out of my shell and then hate me when I'm done But if the rain keeps falling and you can't see the tears in my eyes They say the night is daunting but we all need somewhere to hide So it could be better if I kept it to myself Yeah it could be better if I left it on the shelf Before I go and say something I don't mean Yeah it could be better if I kept it to myself Let's wipe the slate clean And I'll bottle it up again It's just how I've always been Even without you 'Cause if the rain starts falling and you start to see the tears in my eyes And if the night stops calling then we won't have somewhere to hide So it could be better if I kept it to myself Yeah it could be better if I left it on the shelf Before I go and say something I don't mean Yeah it could be better if I kept it to myself I'd rather forget than have to forgive I'd rather lose it, than live with this memory Don't wanna accept the things that you did I try not to show it but you know it hurts me I'd rather forget than have to forgive I'd rather lose it, than live with this memory Don't wanna accept the things that you did 'Cause you know it hurts me yeah yeah Before I go and say something I don't mean Before I go and say something I don't mean It could be better if I kept it to myself Yeah it could be better if I left it on the shelf Before I go and say something I don't mean Yeah it could be better if I kept it to myself
