Let It Lie

You get the summons I'll pay the fine
 I know my place you can 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
 Or say the words you want to hear
 I can't always be the one to swallow my pride
 But if you let your walls down
 Maybe you would know how
 To leave this alone
 And 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
 Or say the words you want to hear
 I can't always be the one to swallow my pride
 But if you let your walls down
 Maybe you would know how
 To leave this alone
 And let it lie
 Let it lie
 You say I'm selfish, that may be right
 And that my songs can't keep me warm at night
 So you go your way I'll go mine
 I know you're hurtin', but you'll be just fine
 Oh...
 I may never see dear
 Or say the words you want to hear
 I can't always be the one to swallow my pride
 But if you let your walls down
 Maybe you would know how
 To leave this alone
 And let it lie
 Let it lie
 Let it lie
 Let it lie
