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.
