| I can’t say that I saw it coming | 
| But it’s true that I wasn’t surprised | 
| Never made much sense of your heavy sigh | 
| And I wish that you could have said something | 
| 'Cause I know what you’ve had to disguise | 
| Can you crack a smile, and pretend you’re fine? | 
| Is it true? | 
| You’ve been away so long | 
| You withdrew | 
| And couldn’t bear to talk about it, or live without it | 
| Holding, waiting | 
| Will only turn you on the ones in the way | 
| So you can’t act content | 
| And who’s to say they’re gonna push you away? | 
| It means more to you than it does to them | 
| So don’t justify | 
| Living silent, under wraps | 
| I feel like I ran with a head start | 
| And you’re only just starting to live | 
| Got a lot to gain, and a lot to give | 
| And it breaks me up to think about | 
| 'Cause I know that you don’t wanna miss | 
| Anything at all, just because of this | 
| Is it true? | 
| You’ve been away so long | 
| You withdrew | 
| And couldn’t bear to talk about it, or live without it | 
| Holding, waiting | 
| Will only turn you on the ones in the way | 
| So you can’t act content | 
| But who’s to say they’re gonna push you away? | 
| It means more to you than it does to them | 
| So don’t justify | 
| Living silent, under wraps | 
| The moment that you tell them’s | 
| The end of where you’re at | 
| And once it’s set in motion | 
| You will not be looking back | 
| And what they thought was perfect | 
| And what they thought was fact | 
| Will uncover a beauty | 
| That they never could expect | 
| The moment that you tell them’s | 
| The end of where you’re at | 
| And once it’s set in motion | 
| You will not be looking back | 
| And what they thought was perfect | 
| And what they thought was fact | 
| Will uncover a beauty | 
| That they never could expect | 
| The moment that you tell them’s | 
| The end of where you’re at | 
| And once it’s set in motion | 
| You will not be looking back |
